Their guided experience typically lasts around two hours and includes a welcome drink, a stroll through the vines, a behind-the-scenes look at their winery, and a relaxed tasting of signature wines paired with local cheeses.

For a more flexible pace, visitors can choose a self-guided tour through the vineyard, exploring at their own rhythm, followed by a tasting flight of three wines and the option to enjoy a full glass of one of their favourites. Dogs on leads are welcome in the vineyard, though they cannot join you in the winery or tasting room.
