What to expect

You'll be led through the working cellar where you'll see how the wines are produced before settling in to taste. The Felix family will walk you through their current releases—expect wines with a tight, mineral character rather than fruit-forward styles. Each pour comes with explanation of what you're tasting: citrus notes, stone fruit, occasional hints of darker berries. The hour moves at a relaxed pace, allowing real conversation about the region's two younger appellations and what gives them their distinctive profile.
