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.
