Wine tasting
Wine is the heart of our farm, and this is where we gather to taste and share it. Alongside our wine educators and roaming resident sommelier, we invite you to uncover the many stories behind each range and glass.
Choose your perfect spot - whether indoors surrounded by local art or on our outdoor terrace where mountain views and birdsong complete each tasting flight or seasonal pairing.
For the peckish we’ve thoughtfully crafted platters, designed for sharing, to complement your wine journey.
