Nice tasting but no vineyards-

3.00Although our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, we really didnt visit vineyards, just the tasting rooms. Two of the spokespersons for the wineries were very knowledgeable and friendly whereas at one, he barely showed up to pour us some wine. We had nice places to sit and were very comfortable but no actual vineyards were seen. I would have loved to visit the actual vineyards and sit outside to hear their stories. There was really no food served but after asking, we were allowed to buy some appetizers at second vineyard. Should be advertised to eat lunch first. Tour was from 3-6:30. We did get to taste many different wines which was nice, but I guess the ambiance of the vineyards was missing for us. It was such a lovely day to be herded inside but there was no place to sit outside.
Great Vineyard Wine Tasting Afternoon

5.00The wine tour was the highlight of our weekend away! Vickie was so fun and made the day that much more enjoyable. The relationship she has with the owners/employees at the vineyards and her knowledge of their wines is amazing. We highly recommend this tour to everyone!
