Behind the Scenes: Elevated Winery Tasting.
An immersive experience at 8 Chains North Winery — a vineyard and production tour, a guided tasting of signature wines, custom charcuterie and wine straight from the barrel.
Go beyond the tasting room.
Go beyond the traditional tasting room with an immersive winery experience designed for wine lovers. Your visit begins with a guided tour of the vineyard and production facilities — a behind-the-scenes look at how grapes are grown, harvested and turned into award-winning wines.
Learn the winemaking process from the people who do it, then sit down to a guided tasting of the winery's signature wines.
The experience also includes a custom charcuterie board and an exclusive barrel tasting, sampling wine straight from the barrel to see how it evolves before bottling.
Taste it from the barrel.
Walk the vines and the production area, where grapes become wine. Then the barrel tasting: a sample drawn straight from the barrel, so you can taste how a wine is developing before it's bottled.
Afterwards, settle in for a guided tasting of signature wines alongside a custom charcuterie board.
