Being under the category of tourism, it's not intended to be seen as the
general
meaning of any door leading into a building's cellar. In Australia at least,
cellar door is a common and usual term for this kind of facility, which is open
to the public at a winery.
To me, a cellar door is a kind of tourist attraction but it's also a kind of
government-licensed alcohol vendor. One that is limited to a single
manufacturer's products or what is produced in the surrounding vineyards. There
will be salespeople who may spend a significant amount of time with a customer,
allowing them to taste many wines or perhaps tour the wine-making facilities on
site before making a purchase.
I'm not sure how the tagging should be done, but I think the connection with
both tourism and retail (alcohol) need to be considered.
