This was a disappointment as we did not expect anything other than tasting size glasses and took a notebook to record those wines we liked. We had to purchase wine by the glass no tastings of any description was provided. Other than that it was a good tour . The ticket should clearly state that wine was available for purchase not that a wine tasting was included.
