What is a Cellar Door/Tasting?
A wine tasting at a cellar door is an experience where customers can sample a selection of wines directly from your winery. It offers a chance to explore different varieties and vintages, often with expert guidance from the winemakers or staff, who explain the flavours, production methods, and characteristics of each wine. This tasting experience helps visitors gain a deeper appreciation for your wines.
