SNIP & SIP TIPS:

-        Perhaps the least glamorous thing about winemaking is what you have to wear; waterproof clothes, shoes or boots enabling your moove freely, and that protects you from sharp vines,

-        Grape picking is a sticky business, so bring along a pair of dishwashing gloves (they’re nice and flexible).

-        Don’t forget to bring along a sun hat, sun screen and a bottle of water.

-        If getting down and dirty isn’t quite your cup of ’’wine’’, then why not meeting our winemaking team or simply go wine tasting and enjoy summer at the estate.

-        Don’t forget to charge your phone/camera to immortalise those great moments,

-        Lastly, remember to have fun!
