What to expect
You'll travel between several wine properties, spending time in cellars and tasting rooms where staff walk you through their production process and current releases. Expect to taste anywhere from six to ten wines across the day, with cheese accompaniments designed to complement the selections. The pace is measured rather than rushed—this isn't a blur of sipping, but a chance to ask questions and absorb how vintage variation and vineyard position influence flavour.
