5.00We had an amazing time! Our driver Gary was the best. Not only was he so very knowledgeable about the area and the vineyards, he was so personable and fun to hang with! You could also see that the wineries respected him. Each winery we went to (4) were better than the next. Our lunch was delicious and far above what we had at previous wine stops. We were able to taste some small batch and unusual wines as well. You definitely want to book this! Marsha from USA
Great planning and day of experience!
