From the open terrace of the winery, there is a lovely view of the region's dominant feature, Palava hill, and Musov lakes. An underground tasting room hosts organized wine-tastings, nicknamed the Diamond for its shape. Gotberg works with selected restaurants where a special menu is combined with its wines.
