A Behind The Scenesย Tour, Tasting & Dining Experience
Duration 5 Hours
Embark on a behind-the-scenes tour of our working winery and learn about the winemaking process - from the arrival of the grapes to the press, fermenting, and blending methods adopted to produce our premium wines. Here, youโll witness barrels of wine patiently waiting to mature and discover the fascinating process the winemaker goes through to help the wine realize its true potential.
