What to expect

Your guide will meet you at the winery and begin with a walk through the working production areas, including fermentation tanks and the bottling line—you'll see equipment and processes in real use. You'll then move into the cooler underground barrel rooms, where wines age in oak, and your guide will explain how temperature and time shape each vintage.

After the cellar tour, you'll head to the tasting room. There you'll be poured three signature wines and given individual gourmet pairings to complement each one. Your guide will walk you through the flavours and connect what you're tasting back to the production methods and terroir you've just seen. The experience wraps with your winery gift.

Good to know

This works well for anyone with genuine interest in how wine is made—no expertise required, though enthusiasts will find depth in the production detail. The tour involves steady walking on cellar floors (which can be cool and damp) and stairs into the barrel room; comfortable shoes are essential. Expect 90 minutes of activity; there's no heavy physical exertion, but it's not a sit-down tasting. Group sizes aren't specified, so ask at booking. The tasting is included with three wines and food pairings; no additional costs flagged. Not ideal if you have mobility issues or severe wine allergies.
