You could chose better wine tours - Nice experience however I expected completely different, my partner and I have been on several different wine tours in multiple different countries over the years and this is probably the furthest from a wine tour, we had chocolate at 10:30 am, which was a little too sweet for the morning I’d say, we then had cheese with no pairings of wine (we found this very unusual) we also had a walk through a town for not much other reason than they sold craft things which was a little irrelevant, we were there to visit some vineyards and taste wine, not look around craft shops. We only tasted 4 different wines all day and had a very nice lunch out however I feel like this meal was prioritised a little too much in terms of where the tour money was spent. Over all wouldn’t go on this trip again and neither would I recommend it.
