Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable about the area and its history. You get so much more than a wine tour with this experience. The wineries were thoughtfully selected and offered a great range.

Great day as Oliver shared his beautiful island with my husband and myself. We visited three wineries and each had its own character and also had time to visit a small town with time on our own to have a great lunch. Great day!

All three wineries were amazing and gave undivided attention to our small group of eight (four couples who just became friends for rhe day). The wine was delicious of course. Oliver gave us a wonderful driving tour of the island and an idea of what it is like to live on the island and special insight into each winery.

Oliver is an excellent tour guide. Funny and knowledgeable about the island. Took us to 3 awesome vineyards, each very different. Highly recommend this small group tour.
