A wine tour can be much more than a wine tasting visit, it can - and should - be an entire experience, where you not only learn about the wine-making process and taste the best wines but enjoy yourself in a wine experience you won't forget.

The visit ends in a spacious state-of-the-art tasting room, where Sandeman Ruby and Tawny Porto Wines can be enjoyed in a unique environment.
