Site FAQ explicitly says: Do I have to book for a wine tasting? No! We are open Wednesdays to Sundays for impromptu tastings, however we kindly ask that you book your vineyard tour and tutored wine tasting in advance. Corrected from 7 days a week to Wed-Sun per this wording; exact daily times not reconfirmed this visit so kept as prior estimate.

Opening hours can change for private events - it's always worth checking the vineyard's website before you visit.
