About this tour

What to expect
You'll arrive at the estate and be introduced to the blending process. Over the next 90 minutes, you'll sample several base wines and grape varieties, then experiment with different ratios to create your preferred blend. Staff guide you through the sensory side—colour, aroma, tannin structure—without jargon. Once happy with your mix, it's bottled and labelled for you to take home. The experience moves at a relaxed pace; expect some standing and light handling of glassware.
Good to know
