Trip was enjoyable with visits to two vineyards. However, communication from company was poor. On booking we were advised that someone would contact us to confirm pick up time. By mid afternoon the day before the trip we had still not received any information so had to ring the company. We were told pick up was at 7.20am. We arrived at the pick up point at 7.05am and were met by a rep who said we were late!! Long bus journey then picking up from other hotels.

A very well organized excursion with delicious wine and delicious lunch. You take the bus to the north of the island, it is advisable to pack a jacket, it is fresh and windy at the market. Then you stroll through the city and get a small historical tour. Afterwards the excursion leads to a small and beautiful place where there is wine to taste. Then we have lunch, which is very tasty and plentiful, with another opportunity to taste the island's wines. After a guided tour of the wine cellar, you return happy, full and slightly tipsy in the afternoon. An absolutely successful day! The guide is in his element and a very pleasant, funny person with a wide range of knowledge.

A nice full day with good food, good wine and very interesting to see. Is overall satisfied with the day, but two big minus pulls the rating down. 1. Our guide was nice and easy to read but unfortunately very unclear, which meant that a lot of interesting things were lost. 2. The bus we boarded was very crowded, and difficult to get in and out of, which became a problem for some of the slightly older participants. Otherwise very interesting and nice, the combination likes gastronomy and cultural history.
