You are not merely visiting waitstaff at a wine bar, but rather connecting with the locals, the cultivators or the winemakers. You will witness the gleam in their eyes that reveals their passion and enchantment that makes them appreciate every bit of their work.

The wine aging process has undergone a dramatic shift (akin to stepping back in time), and presently wine is aged not just in oak, stainless steel or concrete barrels. Accompanied by your expert guide, you will have the opportunity to purchase further wines aged in clay, ceramic, or cement eggs.
