A journey of discovery...more than a tasting. Nearly everyone has a cellar door and can pour wine and talk about it, including them. The Zerella Wines story is a unique one and what better way to tell a unique story than with your very own experience. Hosted by owner and winemaker Jim they can tailor a tasting experience to suit you, your time frame and budget. Would you like to have a barrel tasting or perhaps focus on some of our older wines from their museum stock? Do you have a preference for Italian varietal wines or prefer to focus on their Single Vineyard series? In their cozy cellar door, walking through the vineyard or would you like to see where the magic happens and have your tasting in the winery? A gourmet barbecue for lunch, a plate of homestyle Italian pasta or is an Antipasto platter more your style? Perhaps it’s a combination of all of these? The choice really is yours.
