What to expect
Your guide collects you early morning and drives you through rolling vineyard country, stopping at three hand-picked producers where you'll taste regional expressions and chat with winemakers when schedules allow. Mid-tour, you'll explore the d'Arenberg Cube—a striking contemporary structure housing galleries and installations. Lunch arrives as a proper platter spread at one of the wineries, views across rows of vines making it feel less canteen, more occasion. Tasting fees aren't included upfront, but many are credited against bottle purchases. The pace is leisurely; you're not racing through a checklist.
Good to know
Tasting costs and d'Arenberg Cube entry are separate; pay on the day. Wine at lunch is byob or purchased separately. Minimum four guests required to confirm the tour. Comfortable shoes recommended for winery grounds. Public transport options exist nearby if you prefer not to drive yourself.
