The Seppeltsfield Birth Year Wine Tasting is an experience that promises to transport you back to the year of your birth, and it certainly did not disappoint.
Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the vineyard. The lush, green vines stretched as far as the eye could see, a testament to the careful stewardship of the land. Our guide, Aaron, was a fountain of knowledge, sharing the history of the vineyard and its commitment to sustainable practices.
