Inside the Making of Traditional-Method Sparkling Wine
A reservation-only, six-seat experience that moves beyond the standard tasting flight and into the wines, samples, and decisions behind every finished bottle.

York does not operate a conventional tasting bar, and The York Experience is not built around a standard flight. It is a reservation-only visit of approximately 90 minutes, limited to about six guests and designed to bring you closer to the making of traditional-method sparkling wine. Multiple wines are poured throughout the experience, allowing the conversation to extend beyond what is in the finished bottle.
Your visit explores the stages, choices, and time involved in creating sparkling wine by the traditional method.
Depending on the season and what is available in production, the wines may include selected barrel samples or other developing samples presented alongside finished York wines. Tasting wines at different points in their development provides a more direct understanding of how each stage contributes to the final result.
The property’s history and estate vineyard add context to the wines and the place in which they are made. Weather permitting, a portion of the visit may take place outside among the vines and around the historic grounds before the experience continues with a more detailed, seated look at the winemaking process.
The York Experience is intended for guests who want more than a tasting-room stop: a personal, substantive visit that offers access to the process, encourages questions, and gives each wine the time and attention it deserves.
