Educational Barrel tasting and tour
Group barrel tastings and tours offer a behind the scenes look at how wines are cellared and aged. These include a tour of the wine cellar and detailed information from the winemaker on the art and intricacies of winemaking. The tour ends with a barrel tasting of assorted wines.
Harvest events and tasting (seasonal)
This event consists of a group visiting the vineyard and learning about how grapes are grown and processed and how they are made into different wines.The tasting would be done outside the cellar due to the harvesting process and would have to be coordinated very closely with the winemaker.
