What to expect
Your guide will take you through the working vineyard, then into the barrel room where you'll see how the château's wines develop over time. Back indoors, the real focus begins: you'll taste the same wine from different glasses—wide bowls, narrow flutes, various heights—and notice how each vessel changes what you smell and taste. It's less lecture, more discovery. Bring a notebook if you like; you'll have questions. Bottled water keeps you hydrated between sips.
Good to know
Prams and strollers welcome for young children. Service animals permitted. Coffee and tea aren't provided, so grab a coffee beforehand if you need one. Wear comfortable shoes for vineyard sections; the ground can be uneven.
