Then it is a comprehensive winemaking tutorial with our Cellarmaster. The structured wine tutorial covers: Where and how is wine made? What is its history? What are the grape varieties? How are they different? Blending – Why, and what does one look for with the bouquet, taste, and colour? Finally – you receive a personalised Wine Appreciation Certificate to take home with you.
