We couldn’t have asked for more from this tour. Picked up on time. Guide was knowledgeable and attentive to us. Excellent value for money. Every vineyard was friendly and the wine and food was amazing. So glad we booked this trip. Good luck to Mike who was training. And to Ken our guide Up the Hornets. 👍
