4.00Had a wonderful day. All wineries were very different and beautiful settings. Disappointed we didn’t get clean glasses for each tasting as we did in first winery. The host in Mudbrick was exceptional and had great knowledge of different wines.
Island, wine, & guide exceeded expectations

5.00Instructions and execution of pick up was very good. The group wasn’t too large, which added to the experience. Oliver was not only an excellent driver, but also demonstrated a keen British sense of humor while acting as a sincere ambassador for the beauty of this island and its lifestyle. He was kind enough to talk about his own personal history in the context of the tour which clearly added to the credibility of his love of this island. Having only been familiar with Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, I was surprised by the quality of some of the other wines, both white and red. I thoroughly recommend this tour even if you’re interested in wine is limited.

5.00Glenn was amazing. Great knowledge of island and intimate knowledge of vineyards with personal experience as lives on the island. Went to 3 wineries. Dropped us after for lunch or beach and then picked us up later to catch the ferry.
Fantastic wine tour!

5.00Oliver was fantastic guide! We went to Casita Miro, postage stamp, and mudbrick. The wine tastings were great and the sommeliers were very informative. Oliver also helped me lunch reservations and got some people in to mudbrick when others were told it was full. Highly recommend!!
Ask for Oliver, and be ready to giggle!
