1.5 hours.
Suitable for all fitness levels; some short uneven walking on volcanic soil.
Yes; the courtyard and Palmento are accessible and the operator notes wheelchair access for much of the visit, though some rough vineyard paths may be uneven.
Children can join the vineyard walk and a treasure map is available for kids, but wine tasting is restricted to guests 18 and over; soft drinks are provided for minors.
