The tour continues beneath the mill into the winery’s underground limestone cellars, a distinctive setting for aging and storing wine and a major reason the tour is offered.

THE TASTING

Guided Wine Sampling

Throughout the visit guests sample several wines and learn the basics of how those wines are produced, aged and bottled, a practical complement to the building and cellar tour.
