It was a lot of fun! Very informative. Very interesting. Beautiful location. Wish we could have added all the ingredients instead, would have been more interactive. Great time with strangers though. Thank you for everything. Pedro was delicious

We enjoyed that there were different stages and the guide was very clear and concise in her explanations. The food turned out amazing and the wine was delicious. It might have been nice to have one table for everyone instead of multiple tables, as we didn’t really interact with others or our guide.
