Event: Winery and Vineyard Tour

Date: May 14th  2022 at 11:00h

After a two year break, we finally met  together, at GreyFriars vineyard for  a wine tasting for members and their guests. The tour included a walk around the vines, a talk about the development of Greyfriars and a visit to the production areas where the wines are bottled and stored. The visit was very successful, helped by the fine weather and a good turnout of members and guests. The talk was in French conducted by their in-house Frenchman, Guillaume.
