What to expect
You'll arrive at the heritage tasting room where a knowledgeable guide walks you through five to seven wines, explaining the winemaker's philosophy and what makes each expression distinct. Expect to spend 45 minutes tasting, with time to absorb flavours between pours. The room itself carries the weight of the property's history—timber, stone, and character that frames the experience beyond just the wine. No formal food pairing, though the tasting is unhurried enough to appreciate each wine's complexity.
