What to expect
You'll spend the day moving between three to four vineyards, stopping for roughly ninety minutes at each. At every estate, staff will walk you through their production methods and pour samples of their current releases. Lunch breaks mid-tour at a local restaurant; costs vary depending on what you choose. Your driver handles navigation while you focus on the wines. Expect some standing time in cellars and on vineyard grounds, though the pace is leisurely. Tastings are unhurried—there's no rushing between stops.
Good to know
Book with your wine interests and dietary preferences in advance. Vineyard fees (€150–€300 per person daily) and lunch (€35–€135 per person) are paid separately on the day, unless pre-arranged. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a warm layer. Arrive on time; twenty minutes late counts as a no-show. Children under eighteen are not permitted.
