Once we know who is attending, we will figure out carpools.

Cost: $95.00 per person

Space is limited to 15 people. We may be able to bump this up to 18.

A bit about Palmaz

Palmaz Vineyards’ winemaking and ageing takes place within the living rock of Mount George in a flawlessly engineered maze of tunnels and lofty domes.

The height of the wine case is equivalent to an 18-storey building, providing the vertical range needed for true gravity-flow winemaking. Thus the wine is never subjected to the violent agitation of pumping, which can changed the wine’s intra-molecular structure. This gentle treatment allows the finest nuances of flavor to develop naturally – the result is a complex, elegant wine.

• The fermentation dome is the world’s largest underground reinforced structure. It is 72’ in diameter and 54’ high.

• Temperature stays constant at 60 degrees and humidity at 75%, the perfect atmosphere for aging wine.

• The cave houses its own water treatment plant built to comply with strict conservation guidelines.

• Fermentation tanks rotate on a custom-designed carousel.
