Timeline
16:04
Arrive at the spacious outdoor tasting pavilion atop the hill. The soft breezes make it the perfect spot to begin your evening. Order a wine tasting package to enjoy while you wait. Note that the venue opens at 11:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in.
16:49
Find a seat with a clear view of the west. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the immaculately landscaped grounds. Sip your wine and watch the light shift from bright gold to deep orange.
17:04
The moment arrives. Watch the sun disappear below the horizon. The family-run winery focuses squarely on the wine itself, so let the experience of the light and the taste be the highlight of the evening.
17:34
Stay for a while after the sun sets. The twilight lingers, and the hilltop pavilion remains a comfortable place to linger. Since there is no restaurant on site, use this time to reflect on the day or discuss the wines you tasted.
Local tip
The venue closes at 16:30. Ensure you arrive with enough time to complete a tasting before the moment, or choose a later date where the sunset is after 16:30. For example, on 15 April, sunset is at 19:15, allowing for a more relaxed afternoon start. Check the specific sunset time for your visit date.
