About this tour

The experience includes a locally sourced platter served amongst the vines, with views across the Warilto homestead and surrounding vineyard. Ideal for anyone serious about understanding how this cool-climate region expresses Riesling.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the vineyard and be shown into the tasting room, where a guide will walk you through four Rieslings: The Florita, Wolta Wolta, Lodge Hill and Watervale. Expect to spend time comparing the current vintage against older releases, understanding how age shapes the wine's character. Between tastings, you'll eat a platter of regional produce outdoors or overlooking the property. The session moves at a relaxed pace, built for genuine tasting rather than rushing through.
