Let's delve deeper: common questions about wine and wineries

What is the best time to visit a winery?

The grape harvest, between September and October, is one of the most fascinating times of the year. However, each season offers different experiences: in spring, you can witness the vines awakening, while in winter, you can taste freshly bottled wine.

What is a guided tasting?

It's a sensory experience led by a sommelier or producer. You'll learn the techniques for tasting wine, pairing it with food, appreciating aromas and flavors, and learning about the region it comes from.

Why choose a winery experience?

Visiting a winery isn't just about tasting wine: it's about discovering stories, landscapes, and traditions. It's a way to connect with the land, support local production, and experience wine with awareness.
