This tour was great! It ended up pretty much being a private tour with just my friend, myself, and Phil. He was very knowledgeable and took us to great spots. We were able to pivot and tweak the tour to do things we aligned with more and we had a great time, great food, and great wine!

We were a group of 4. The chemistry was good and added to the enjoyment. Steven our guide and driver was excellent. Pleasant company and informative. The wine tasting and lunch at the vineyard and the Olive oil tasting were the highlights. The chocolate tasting was a good way to finish. The cheese tasting and beer tasting were disappointing. It was a long day and the car had seen better days.

Phil was knowledgeable about the region and very friendly. Despite a number of road closures due to flooding he contacted the different venues to rearrange time frames so we did not miss out on anything. The brewery was closed that day, so Phil arranged an additional winery for tastings. Would definitely recommend these guys.
