From the Vine to the Glass – Tinhorn Creek Offers New Tours and Tastings

Experience a new side of Tinhorn Creek Vineyards this summer with private tour and tasting options that offer a unique opportunity to sample top tier Oldfield Series wines in a private winery setting. Sip award-winning wines ‘behind the scenes’ while discovering innovative winemaking techniques and leading viticultural practices.

Wine enthusiasts and private groups looking for a relaxed, educational and enhanced wine tasting experience can choose from two package options; either a 60 or 90 minute Tour & Oldfield Series Tasting. Both experiences include a guided tour of Tinhorn Creek Vineyards lead by an onsite wine specialist and a premium private tasting featuring five Oldfield Series reserve wines accompanied by a charcuterie plate. The 90-minute tour involves a special glimpse into the winemaking process; it includes a rare opportunity to sample from barrel. Pricing for the 60-minute tour is $30 per person and the 90-minute is $40 per person with a minimum of 6 guests and a maximum of 10. Oldfield Series Tours & Tastings take place at 11am, 2pm or 4pm, seven days a week.
