What to expect
You'll start with a walk through the cellars and production areas at Stanton & Killeen, seeing how the winery has operated for generations. A tasting session introduces you to different Muscat expressions—young, aged, fortified variations—so you understand their distinct characteristics. Then comes the hands-on part: you'll work with small samples of selected parcels, experimenting with ratios and combinations to build your blend. Staff guide the process but you're in control. Once happy with your formula, it gets sealed into a bottle with your details on the label.
Good to know
The experience is wheelchair accessible and welcomes service animals. Snacks aren't provided, so eat beforehand if needed. Not suitable for pregnant travellers. Allow extra time if you're unfamiliar with Muscat styles—the tasting component helps, but there's no rush.
