What to expect
You'll start with a stroll through the vineyard itself, following a marked trail that winds between vines and opens onto river views. Then your guide takes you into the working winery where you'll see tanks and barrels in action. Tastings happen as you move through—you're sampling directly from production vessels, the way the winemaker evaluates their own work. Expect to learn the specifics of fermentation, oak ageing, and what happens between harvest and bottle. The tour runs about an hour and stays unhurried; it's more about understanding the place than rushing through.
