Amazing Glimpse into the Wine Business
I went with a bunch of friends in the offseason but really loved the entire experience and learning about the organic grape cultivation & wine distilling process. Definitely recommend visiting.

Surpreendente
Visita guiada bastante elucidativa e tranquila. Ali são produzidos 3 vinhos. Ao final da visita, degustamos os 3 vinhos. Todos eles muito bons. Vinhos orgânicos, mas que não tem como perceber diferença do vinho produzido “regularmente”, inclusive tem um dos 3 que é sem adição de sulfitos. Visita boa. Recomendo.

Tour of Chateau Bernateau winery
I liked seeing the vines and the explanation of the complexities of growing the grapes especially under organic guidelines. I also liked the tour of the process of the wine making. I was astounded at the low cost of the tastings. Great tasting wines! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gracious. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to taste the grape in the field.
Very easy booking process.
I have already told others about my experience and recommend highly to them.
