What to expect
You'll begin with a guided walk through the property's planted rows, then move indoors to the production rooms where staff explain fermentation, oak treatment, and aging protocols. The tasting unfolds at a leisurely pace—four pours, each with food to complement the wine's profile. Your host covers viticulture fundamentals: why this land suits these grapes, how sustainable practices protect soil quality, and what distinguishes each vintage. Under-18s receive alcohol-free alternatives. Expect a relaxed, conversational atmosphere rather than formal instruction.
