Upon arrival, we will go directly to the small vineyard surrounding our winery to spend a lot of time learning about grape growing and the challenges of doing so in a high mountain dessert like the one we live in. Afterwards, I will give you a brief tour of the facilities thoroughly explaining how our fruit processing and winemaking differs from other wineries. You will be able to see first hand our barrel room and the temperature controlled warehouse we use to store our bottled wines before going into the fermentation and conservation area of the winery where you will experience a unique and guided tasting provided by Cristian and/or myself, straight from the tanks!
During this process you will be able to clearly taste and learn the different aspects of Malbecs, and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in different areas as well as getting a taste of a unique grape variety, almost extinct, that Cristian grows with his father Raymond Stanislas Allamand.
Should you choose to do so, we can finish the experience with a full tasting of finished bottled wines also guided and explained by one of us.
