Very fun day seeing the hill country and tasting local wines with Italian varietals. Jax, our guide was very outgoing and knowledgeable and made the day great! Her hospitality was outstanding as was her recommendations for local live music! The BBQ was good too! We rode in style in a comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van which was great for our group.

It was a great afternoon in hill country. I would switch the order of activities and have lunch in between the two winery tastings. Rich was a great guide!
