What to expect
You'll be collected and driven to three separate cellar doors, spending roughly an hour at each. At the first or second stop, the guide walks you through a structured pairing session—tasting each cheese against its matching wine to understand what works and why. At the other venues, you'll taste their core range with commentary on vineyard practice and winemaking choice. The guides are relaxed but informed, answering questions without the hard sell. Expect to try dry reds, whites, and possibly a fortified wine depending on what each winery showcases that day.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen. The pace involves some walking between tasting rooms but nothing strenuous. Designated driver or booked transport is essential—don't plan to self-drive. Gratuities are not included in the price. Service animals are welcome.
