What to expect
You'll spend an hour at the cellar door tasting methodically through eight different wines. Each 40ml pour is meant to be savoured, not rushed, so there's time for conversation and questions. The platter arrives alongside, letting you test pairings and cleanse your palate between wines. You'll learn how the Croser family selects fruit from specific vineyard sites rather than blending generically. The setting is relaxed—staff explain their philosophy without pretension. By the end, you'll have a clearer sense of what separates these distinguished vineyard expressions from mass-produced alternatives.
