“My husband and I booked this trip as we both live wine. The experience was amazing, we had the pleasure of the owner of the 1st vineyard taking us on the tour, explaining the family history and their wine. Our guide was amazing and translated everything into English. The 2nd vineyard was smaller but just as amazing. We met some lovely people during the tasting and food. Would highly recommend this tour and would like to thank María (if I remember correctly) for making our experience so enjoyable and memorable. Thank you”

We were able to see the process of wine making and taste many local wines and enjoyed some snacks. But the best part was the passion that was evident at each winery. They take great pride in their wines. After the tastings Alessandra was kind enough to give us a recommendation for dinner which also turned out to be great. I would highly recommend this tour.”
