The elegant, ivy-walled estate features lovely tasting rooms, a hand-carved staircase, stained glass windows, and classic stone cellars.

I appreciated the gals that conducted the wine tasting. They were knowledgeable and extremely personable. The wines were very good too. All of the old bottles in dust was a nice sight.
