The Behind the Scenes tour begins at 10:30 AM. Please meet at the cellar door,
where your tour guide will welcome you.

The group will start by visiting the historic Wallcliffe Vineyard, established
in 1970. (Please wear flat, closed-in shoes.) You will learn about Cape
Mentelle's viticultural practices and how they influence wine styles and
quality.

Discover the historical significance of the vineyard's location and the
beginnings of Margaret River as a prominent wine-growing region.

As you stroll through the 55-year-old Wallcliffe vineyard, gain insight into
the life cycle of the vine.

After exploring the original Wallcliffe vineyard, your host will guide you to
the winery, where you'll witness the winemaking process firsthand.

You’ll receive a detailed explanation of how our wine is crafted, including
the processes of crushing and destemming, fermentation, maceration, pressing,
and barrel aging. You'll also learn about the different techniques used for
making white and red wines while touring both the red and white cellars.

Step into the barrel hall, where you can experience the chill of the oak
barrels aging Cape Mentelle wines.

The tour concludes with an exclusive, tutored food and wine pairing set within
the atmosphere of our original vat cellar. For this experience, we have
proudly partnered with Blue Ginger , a beloved local wholefood shop, whose
culinary team freshly prepares a custom menu of six artisan canapés. As you
savor each dish alongside a curated selection of six current-release wines,
your host will guide you through the key principles of food and wine pairing,
exploring how the seasonal, locally sourced ingredients seamlessly complement
and elevate the flavor profile of each wine.
