Our Tasting Experiences
Our Tasting Experiences are conducted on the terrace at Lowe Cellar Door, overlooking the vineyards and farm, or inside the working winery & cellar door when weather requires.
Both experiences include an allocated booking time and reserved seating to enjoy your personalised tasting by a cellar door team member – including tasting notes of each wine, details about how we make them, the stories that go alongside and time to answer all your questions.

We also encourage you to explore our organic & biodynamic Tinja farm with a stroll through the gardens & vineyards, or a visit to our many friendly animals.
Our tasting costs are based on the value of the experiences, including the tasting of different wine ranges and the time of our team to take you through individually at a reserved seated table. It is not refundable with wine purchase.
