What to expect
This is a small-scale operation, not a grand château. You'll walk the modest vineyard with whoever's running the place that day, see how they manage the vines and tend their crop. The cellar visit shows you where wine sits in barrel—the quiet, cool part of the process. They'll explain their choices: why they prune certain ways, how long they age the wine, what oak brings to the flavour. You finish seated with two glasses of their own wine, tasting what the year and their methods produced.
