For your comfort, layered clothing is recommended, as mornings can be cool. Choose casual, comfortable attire such as shorts or capri pants; avoid denim due to its thick seams. Closed-toe shoes or sneakers are required.

We offer a delicious, catered village lunch served buffet-style at the vineyard to help you recharge mid-tour. Not all tours include lunch by default, but it’s always available as an upgrade.
