What's included
viticultural education
We offer a firsthand understanding of the vineyard's annual cycle. Guests can learn about the various stages of grape development, from bud break in spring to harvest in autumn, and the specific practices employed at each stage. This immersive experience provides insights into terroir, vine health, canopy management, and the overall art and science of grape growing that ultimately shapes the quality of the wine.
Vineyard Walk
An immersive experience that invites individuals to stroll through the rows of grapevines, offering a close-up view of the vineyard landscape. This guided or self-guided exploration allows participants to connect directly with the terroir, observe the grapevines' growth and health, and often learn about the specific varietals planted, viticultural practices, and the seasonal rhythms of wine production.
Barrel Tasting
