Here is my experience:

The tasting area is a bit of a mix of old school country charm with a 60's twist. There is also a gift shop. If you do visit Zevenwacht, I would suggest that you arrive in the morning around 10am, do a tasting to experience the wines...

With so much to do at Zevenwacht, make this a full day outing and even a sleep over.So which farm will be next?:)x
