This small-group experience offers personal contact with the winemaking family and an authentic introduction to local wine production.

Begin with a guided walk through the family vineyards, surrounded by peaceful countryside and beautiful sea views.

Continue inside the winery to discover the winemaking and aging process, including the use of stainless-steel tanks and wooden barrels.
