Captivated By Chardonnay

Bonnievale

Activity Description

Activity Overview:

Whether you are looking for an educational, heartfelt, or relaxed experience, the Captivated by Chardonnay tour promises to exceed your expectations.
This one hour underground tour is divided into three parts. Visitors will start by learning where Chardonnay is produced in the world and how it spread to the Robertson Valley. Secondly, the tour will focus on the winemaker’s philosophy, the hand of the artisan, and why he pursues an elegant, unpretentious style in Chardonnay. Lastly, visitors will move to the deepest part of the underground tour where they will be looking at the history of wine dating back to 500 years B.C. The tour ends with a poetry reading, written by Philip Jonker, while visitors sip on the exclusive Poet’s Prayer Chardonnay.

This tour is an in-depth experience of the essence of Chardonnay, geography, geology, history, and hope. Visitors can experience all of this while savouring this noble cultivar in the dimly lit underground wine tanks.

Customer Reviews

We recently had the opportunity to enjoy the Captivated by Chardonnay tour. We found the tour very pleasant and informative and the accompanying wine made the experience even better. Highly recommended. - Hannes


Great tour - very interesting museum. I thought I knew about Chardonay - but apparently I didn't! The wines are very high quality and the different terroirs and wine-making processes clearly explained. Very friendly and passionate host We managed to bring some 10 bottles back to Latvia. we will leave to age a while and tthen look forward to enjoying them - Gary
