This was my favorite stop on our winery tour of the Casablanca Valley (we went to three). Its a beautiful place even without any grapes on the vines. We had a nice tour of their facility and learned a lot about the wine making process, followed by a nice lunch with wine parings.
They do a lot of cool things at this particular winery, unique blends and experimentation with infused liquors, and even balsamic vinegar. It was very interesting to see the process and so hard to imagine having something age for 20+ years! There is a lot of risk in aging something so long, so much possibility for failure.
We enjoyed our lunch and pairing in the barrel room. It was chilly, but they provided blankets (and lets be honest, you are drinking and that keeps you warmer) and the ambiance certainly added to the experience. I was not expecting super delicious food becuase it is not their focus, but I was pleasantly surprised that the courses were all delicious. Clearly they are good at what they do, the food paired perfeclty with each wine. The end of the meal was paired with one of their liquors and while I could not drink it straight (too strong for me), it was excellent poured over the desert, as suggested.
If you have the chance to visit, I highly recommend doing the lunch pairing, not just a tasting. I would absolutely come back here if I found myself in the Casablance Valley again.
Make sure to take some time to look through their shop before you leave.
They have some cute things, along with their wines and liquors.
