What to expect
You'll arrive at the estate and move straight into the working cellar, where a guide walks you through how the wines are made—fermentation vessels, oak barrels, the mechanics of ageing. The narrative focuses on Palette specifically: why it matters, what makes it distinct from neighbouring appellations. After the tour, you'll settle in for the tasting itself: three glasses, poured deliberately, with the guide talking you through what you're noticing—colour, nose, palate, finish. Expect to spend roughly equal time walking and tasting.
Good to know
One hour total, so this isn't a leisurely afternoon. Infants must sit on a lap. Pregnant travellers should skip this one. No fitness barriers—mostly standing and walking on flat cellar floors.
