   The tour continues into the wine cellar—the heart of the operation—where fermentations are carefully monitored, and traditional grape-treading still takes place. Along the way, we’ll hear about the history of the vineyard, the techniques used, and the materials that give each wine its unique character. Afterwards, it’s time to taste. You’ll enjoy a guided tasting of the wines we’ve just explored, paired with dishes prepared either by a local restaurant or the winemaker himself. (Please let us know in advance if you have any dietary requirements.) If the weather is kind, there’s even the chance for a refreshing dip in the estate’s tank before we leave. You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase wines directly from the producer, making sure you take a little of the experience home with you.
