1. TOTAL IMMERSION WINE TOUR WITH BLIND TASTING

This wine tour activity takes guests for a walk in the vineyards and gardens (both vegetable and other), cellar, and tasting room all the while explaining the details of our organic agriculture. Guests will truly learn the details of growing grapevines organically and making and tasting wine. The tasting will include a sampling of all our products, a mini “degustation” course, with various delicious snacks, followed by a blind tasting in black customized glasses.
Guests will taste and compare new and old vintages, taste corked or oxidized wine, and learn the difference by sharpening their sense of smell and taste. Often our perception is guided by what we see. When sight is eliminated, we realize the world turns upside down in a way we never comprehended. This is a fun wine tasting experience that will challenge your previous perceptions and likely add something new to your wine world, whether you are a complete novice or experienced wine connoisseur!

The garden is organized by raised sections where we grow vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees. The fence is protected by trees, plum, apple and pear trees that we decided to use to make an experimental sweet wine mixed with fruit.
