Winery Tour and Wine Tasting: Guided Cellar & Family Reserve
Oak barrels where the wines mature are where the tasting begins, not where it ends.

The experience
The tour starts with a guided walk through the winery's production process, from harvest through the traditional techniques that shape the wines. You'll move through the barrel cellars where the Family Reserve and Reserve lines mature, learning how each step builds the character of the final bottle. The guide explains the decisions behind every stage, so you understand what you're tasting before you taste it.
After the cellar tour, you sit down to taste the Family Reserve and Reserve selections alongside a pairing menu: artisan breads with house-made sauces, a selection of quality cheeses and cold cuts, and croquetas with different toppings designed to complement the wines. This is where the sensory journey the winery describes actually happens. The wines and the food are arranged to work together, not served separately.
The winery stocks its own shop, so if a bottle speaks to you during the tasting, you can take it home the same day. Families with infants can bring a pram or stroller. Service animals are welcome. Public transportation options are nearby if you're not driving.
Is this one for you?Two and a half hours is long enough to move through the cellars and sit for a proper pairing, but short enough to fit into a free afternoon without blocking the rest of your day. If you want a deeper dive into winemaking or a longer meal, this is the foundation. If you're passing through and want to understand the wines before you taste them, this is the shape that works.
