What is a winery visit?

A winery visit is an organised experience that lets you get to know a wine producer, the working spaces and how the wine is made.

The programme can take in guided tours, talks about the vineyard, a look round where the wine is made and, if you wish, a tasting.

The experience varies with the size of the winery and what it offers.

A winery visit can be open to all ages, but anything with an alcohol tasting is for people over 18 only.
