Local cheeses are served throughout to complement the wines.
The tasting includes a guided walk through the Command vineyard itself, where you'll see the historic plantings the family has preserved. The experience wraps up back in the tasting room. Total time is around 90 minutes.

Good to know
This suits wine lovers and collectors who want more than a standard tasting—you're getting deeper context on the winery's history and direct access to back vintages that aren't usually on the cellar-door menu. The experience is not suited to non-drinkers or those with limited wine interest; it's a serious tasting, not a socialising stop. All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and infants can sit on an adult's lap or ride in a pram. Peak times will likely be weekends; book in advance. The tasting is wine-focused with no food beyond cheese included.
