Most wineries are available for tours, and can be visited with advance booking. There you can stroll along their vineyards enter the humid and cool cellars full of the perfumes of oak, and of course taste their wines.
Other wineries are more jealous and do not like to have people around unless they are connoisseurs and really want to see where their favourite wine is produced.
