1.00This tour was not remotely worth the price they’re charging! You go to ONE winery. The Sommelier at the winery was outstanding and deserves 5 stars for the information she provided! However, I got one piece of plain bread and a few white beans with my 3 small wine tastings. We drove through back roads to another winery 45 minutes away because the tour company did not want to travel the front way that offers a smooth ride. Once we arrived we were not permitted to take photos of the vineyards at sunset. The winery itself was trashed with junk all over the parking lot and in other areas on our way to the restaurant. We only had dinner at this winery that consisted of one piece of bruschetta, a few plain noodles on a bread plate and one glass of wine. Very disappointing!
Great time!

5.00Awesome tour! Fantastic wine! Learned a lot! I'm not fancy nor did I think I would be interested in learning about wine, but I had a blast and I learned! It was a perfect first experience and it's completely due to Gabriel, our tour guide. He's very knowledgeable, organized, and extremely funny. Thank you Gabriel for the hard work and effort you put into our tour! And thanks to Emi for driving.
