“The Highlight of our vacation - The wine tour was even better than we could have dreamed of. The artistic landscape invites you to relax and enjoy local wine and snacks. Next to the snacks and with love made chicken salad, we were able to try everything from plums to grapes right from the plants, it was really great. A very special compliment goes to the wonderful lady (with her cute dog) who shared with us her passion for wine and the area. This talented woman even played us a song on her guitar and sang for us - it was truly a dream that we will never forget.” - Reviewed at 2024-09-18
