What to expect
You'll start outdoors walking through the vineyard and production facilities, where your guide explains the viticulture and winemaking decisions that shape the final product. The second half moves into the Cabernet Cellar, where you'll sit down with several wine selections and local ingredients—cheeses, cured meats, fruits, vegetables—to taste how they interact. Expect to discuss palate, tannins, acidity, and how flavour profiles either harmonise or deliberately clash. It's practical education rather than passive tasting.
Good to know
