A very complete visit with a guide who did not count her time, expert explanations, a real cultural and oenological exchange. A very rich experience, very well organized. We recommend in particular this very balanced formula between visit of the installations and tasting.

The introduction to wine processing was simply brilliant! With simple words and pictures, we were able to gain an insight into wine production. All of our questions were answered competently and we can only warmly recommend the tour.

Excellent presentation by the person in charge. Wine tasting with four varieties of wine was also excellent.

Nice visit, guide attentive and enthusiastic to share his knowledge. Really nice and affordable time

Great tour with a great guide! Thank you very much
