Such a wonderful experience!

5.00Areti was our chauffeur, tour guide, and sommelier. She made it a great experience in every aspect! Areti was attentive to all our needs (rest stops, water) and interests. She allowed us as much time as we wanted to explore the wine (some were exceptional). She took the time to explain in detail the different aromatic qualities, flavors of the wine and food pairings. My husband is a chef and we are both wine connoisseurs and foodies. We highly recommend this tour.
Areti was super friendly...
