A half-hour experience that moves you through generations of careful ageing in a single sip.

What to expect
You'll enter the working cellar where thousands of barrels sit in climate-controlled quiet. A guide walks you through how Seppeltsfield maintains its century-spanning collection, then pours a 10ml measure of the current 100-year-old tawny directly from its barrel into a glass. The wine tastes of dried fruit, leather, and time. The tour moves at an easy pace and takes 30 minutes total.
