What to expect
Your guide collects you and drives you to the château, chatting about the region along the way. Once there, you'll walk through the working winery—barrel rooms, fermentation tanks, the lot—while learning how the estate produces its wines. You'll taste a couple of glasses poured by staff, with time to ask questions about what you're tasting and how decisions get made about blending and ageing. The pace is relaxed; this isn't a formal lecture. Bring comfortable shoes for walking on stone floors and through cellars.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included, so eat before you go or plan something nearby. Public transport gets you to the starting point easily. Minimum drinking age is 18; children under that can attend but won't taste. No pets on the tour.
