Our guide was great fun, he was personal and played great music throughout our journey. He provided information at each stop which was great. The wine tasting was enjoyable, they give you snacks with it which was nice and we tried one white, one rose and one red. The tasting notes are through a QR code and they played very English music in the restaurant, I think it would be slightly more authentic if they played Italian music!! Overall a very fun afternoon out and you get to swim in a beautiful location!
