What to expect
You'll settle into a comfortable spot on the vineyard grounds with your picnic box at hand. The owners or their team will walk you through their portfolio—sparkling, semillon, verdelho, chardonnay, rosé, merlot-cabernet blends, cabernet franc, shiraz, and a fortified—explaining their approach to small-batch production. Conversation flows naturally; this isn't a formal lecture. The whole experience unfolds over about an hour. Bring your dog if you'd like; they're part of the McCaffrey's welcome.
