Good to know
This suits anyone with a genuine interest in food and wine pairing, or those seeking a short, focused tasting rather than a full winery or chocolate factory tour. It's intellectually pitched — expect talk of sourcing and production ethics, not just flavour chatter. Physically, all areas are wheelchair accessible and suitable for all fitness levels. Children under the age of legal drinking age won't taste wine, though they can attend; infants must sit on an adult's lap. There are no hidden fitness demands or altitude concerns. Public transport is available nearby. The experience is wine-inclusive, so plan accordingly if driving. Group size isn't specified; assume it's small but verify at booking.
