As with some cellar doors they did not put their premium wines on tasting but you were able to buy a little "test tube like" container of their premium wines to taste. We actually walked here from T'Gallant (next door) as there is a dirt track along the side of the road, however it was a bit muddy as it is also a popular horse riding trail
