Had a wonderful visited at this lovely winery. We were hosted by Fernanda, who, thankfully, spoke wonderful English! She was very knowledgeable and engaging The grounds were beautiful and the wine blending was so much fun. Highly recommend a visit here.

We went to Mont Gras as two couples and were welcomed by friendly staff who spoke perfect English. Our tour guide was Marcello and he made our experience! We then did the wine making activity which we would highly recommend. We sampled, blended, bottled, corked our own bottle with great details with added wax top and personalised labels. As a group we’ve done lots of wine tours in vineyards around the world and all agreed this was the best. After the tour we relaxed in the lovely grounds finishing our wines.

We visited several wineries when in Santa Cruz and this was definitely our favourite. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is that there isn’t a cafe or restaurant where we could have a coffee or lunch had we wanted to but I understand this is to be the next project! We visited without a reservation and were warmly welcomed by Marcello who spoke good English. He organised a tour for us and even brought us a complimentary taster glass of wine while we waited. The tour was probably one of our best ever and we learned a lot even though we have done wine tours all over the world! After the tour we tasted 3 different wines, all of which were very pleasant and reasonably priced. Our only regret was that we had to rush off as our taxi arrived, booked by Marcello at our request but unfortunately a bit too prompt!!

The winery offers a picnic which can be taken on the terrace or at the tables in front of vines. There are other more secluded places without seating as well. We were given a generous and varied food basket and allowed to choose one of their standard wines from the selection at the shop. We stayed 2 and 1/2 hours including a short stroll among the vineyards. Heavenly and we thought very good value.
