What to expect
You'll spend the morning and early afternoon driving through rolling vineyard country, stopping at two estates. Each visit runs roughly two to three hours, split between vineyard walks and tasting room time. Expect to sample several wines at each location whilst standing amongst the vines or in cellars. Your guide explains soil types, grape varieties, and production methods specific to each winery. The pace is unhurried—you're not rushing through a checklist.
Good to know
Minimum age for wine tasting is 18. Lunch isn't included, so eat beforehand or plan to grab something in a village en route. Wear comfortable walking shoes for vineyard terrain. Tipping is at your discretion. Children under 18 are welcome but cannot taste wine.
