Highlights
A genuine medieval cellar, not a modern tasting room. Walking through centuries-old vaults grounds the tasting in real history most wineries can’t offer.
Biodynamic wines of real quality. Past guests consistently praise the high quality of the biodynamic wines poured during the tasting.
Snacks made on the property. Nearly all the food paired with the wine comes from the estate itself, reflecting genuine farm-to-glass practice.
Rolling hills as far as the eye can see. Past guests describe the castle’s surrounding landscape as breathtaking, a highlight beyond the cellar itself.
