The experience

Details matter

The Buyers+Cellars Tasting Room is dedicated to the experience of enjoying wine and that comes down to the fine details. We have created an optimal tasting environment by paying special attention to the atmosphere, aromas and serving practices of our space. For example:

  • Unscented soap in our washrooms
  • Neutralized air
  • Unflavoured, filtered water with Naturizzata, an eco-friendly system producing clean and pure, still or sparkling water
  • Enomatic Wine Dispensers - sealed, pressurized serving systems that limits the amount of waste from oxidized wine
  • Temperature Controlled Wines; all wines will be served at optimal temperatures
