The Chateau Chantal Tapas Tour is a unique experience at the winery that consists of an extensive and enlightening tour of the vineyard and winery, as well as a tapas-style offering of small plates paired with our own Chantal wines.
Tours are led by our experienced guides who will walk guests through the winemaking process from vine to wine, and lead them through an exploration of the intricacies of wine and food pairing. More in-depth than the standard winery tour, Tapas allows the guest to gain vineyard, winemaking, and wine tasting knowledge that they can use to help make wise wine purchasing decisions in the future.
The idea for Tapas Tour sprang from our relationship with our Argentine vineyard where our winemaker travels a few times each year to oversee the vineyard and make our Malbec wine. The Spanish influenced cuisine brought our attention to the tradition of Tapas, small plates with wine. This experience is the perfect opportunity for Chateau Chantal to continue to connection we make on a daily basis between food and wine.
The tapas menu will include nine pairings of small plates with Chantal wines ranging from a whitefish paté with Semi-Dry Riesling, to a bbq chicken pizza paired with our Argentine Malbec.
Tapas Tours start June 15th and run daily until the end of August. Saturdays in September. Tours begin at 12:30 and last two hours. Tours will contain no more than 25 guests to ensure a warm and personal experience, and reservations are required at least 1 day in advance. The cost is $25 per person.
Guests are asked to bring an eager palate, an inquisitive mind, and a light jacket to wear as the tour ventures through the cool cellar.
