Visits & tastings

Alongside some of the great vineyards of Bordeaux at the Best of Wine Tourism event in Bordeaux in 2018, we were awarded the prestigious Coup de Coeur for our achievements in developing and encouraging wine tourism. The award was given for a combination of the quality of the wines, visitor experience, successful crowd funding campaigns and the many ideas that bring wine to life at the estate for everyone. These include photography lessons, kids wine label design competitions and a very popular barbecue with music and wine tasting that ran throughout the summer.
