Wine tasting

Our tasting facility is an intimate and rustically styled room dating from the late 1800's that leads out to our winegarden - this gives our tasting facility a warm and inviting feel. We have a personal and interactive approach that makes our customers come back for more. We use quality stemware, correct refrigeration and lighting and ample information to help you make your choice when buying our unique wines as easy as possible.
