Wine Tasting Tour at Denbies Wine Estate, Dorking


Obviously I fell asleep last night!

Today's weather is not as good as yesterday. Thank god we went to Denbies then.

This photo to show that sometimes I can take good photos too.

So, just want to continue about our very exciting wine tour. These are fermentation tanks. Now I know why white wine is white, red is red and rose is pink.

The tour was really informative. Made me understand a lot more about wine. The wine expert said that there are no right or wrong in wine. Just go for the taste you like best. Which I so agree. I don't really care abt red meat red wine concept most of the time. But I like all 3 types depending on my mood.

The wine expert showing us the different types of vine growing at the vineyard for different wines and country influences on the methods and growths.

I never realized that there are so much science involved in growing anything. I guess I knew but never really thought about it.

I also understand why wine is expensive now.

This is the first time I've been to a cellar. It was pretty cool but also quite creepy if I was alone. Reminded me of those horror reality tv that I've watched.

@milkystainz and I opt for the still wine tasting instead of the sparkling wine/champagne because I get drunk easily with anything fizzy. It was 3pm during the tasting. Just way too early to be merry.

I liked the red wine the most. It has this woody oak taste to it. I like.

I also found out why aluminium were used to wrap the top of a champagne bottle in the past. Simple and cunning reason but now, it is just purely for packaging sake.

Decorative barrels.

Enjoying our tasting.

It was overall a really good experience for us. I completely did not expect J to bring me to such places because it was more of my thing than his but he really enjoyed it as well.

What a happy day! Another weekend to remember.

We are moving into our new home in 11 days. We are very very excited and also feeling very broke all at the same time! Furnishing and renovation ain't gonna be cheap yo! 😂😂😂
