About this tour
A 90-minute wine blending class at McCaffrey's Estate where you'll taste and blend your own red wine to take home. Suited to wine newcomers and experienced drinkers alike, the experience keeps groups intimate at 2–14 people, letting you work hands-on with the winemaker to create a custom bottle that reflects your palate.

- Take home a custom bottle you've created
- Small groups of 2–14 people maximum
- Suitable for all experience levels, beginner to expert
- Hands-on blending education with estate staff

What to expect
You'll arrive at McCaffrey's Estate and begin with a guided tasting of the estate's red wines, learning how to identify flavour profiles and what makes blends work. The group then moves to the blending area, where you'll work directly with staff to select and mix wines according to your taste preferences, adjusting ratios until you're satisfied with the result.
Once your blend is finalised, it's bottled and labelled for you to take away. The whole session runs about 90 minutes, with the tasting and education portion taking roughly half the time and the hands-on blending the rest.
