The tour was amazing and the wine was delicious. We had a lovely few hours and really really enjoyed our time. The only reason I’m marking this as a 4* over 5* is due to the fact that it wasn’t really a cheese tasting. We had some nibbles with the wine we tasted, but wouldn’t class this as both.

The vineyard was beautiful and peaceful. My fiance and I went at a quiet time and thoroughly enjoyed the cheese and wine, followed by a private tour of the winery. Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was so interesting to understand the process better. Thank you!

Very nice to see. Wine is not having a strong taste as for example french wines however though it might even taste a bit sower it is very mild once you swallow it. To it some cheese and nuts and barriers, which always fit 100%. I think every wine lover should take time for this experience. Tour was also very good. It was held in English and Spanish at the same time. I had a bit of a feeling that the guide could say more in Spanish than in English. I assume this is because of the language. It is also not a very heavy tour. You see wine yards from one balcony and than you go through wine basements in production. So it’s not physically hard to do. Panorama is amazing. In the end nice tasting. Girl that served us had always a story to every wine. Really good.
