Tours & Tastings
Our tours start in the vineyard, bringing you up to date with the vines development since pruning in the winter. We also talk about the impact of any recent weather has had on the vines. We then move into the winery, to show you what is involved in making award winning wines. The tour then concludes with a tasting of 3 of our wine. Each tour lasts about 1 hour, but do allow more time, to take in the views and enjoy the tasting.
