It was a lovely experience with Gabriel as our host tasting 3 wines. Each wine was served with excellent snacks, salad with anchovies, bruschetta with pesto, followed by cheeses and fig jam and onion jam. The wines were great but the best part was Gabriel talking about his grandfather who started making wine and opened the cantina. It was a fun hour. Some generous pours and a grandson who appreciated the work of his grandfather.

The excursion was amazing, we did the both (because we enjoy so much the first that we decided to retake the one for sunset) It was amazing, the capitain his so cool !!! Absolutely stunning

Great tour with a wonderful guide. The drive there and back was long but the overall experience was very good.
