Whereas you will not taste many wines you will enjoy beautiful scenery and have a memorable experience. The guide was ever so knowledgable and nice and the vinyards we had visited were excellent, so much so, that we had purchased several bottles on the trip. Highly recommend for beginners on their wine journey.”
