Great Trip
Our guide Jose was really helpful and knowledgeable and explained wine producing in detail. He arrived on time and picked us up from the hotel, The group of eight was an ideal size. The day was most enjoyable and interesting. Lunch was ok but would not win any awards. The journey to the area was around an hour and a half and I found the vehicle comfortable. The visit to the two wine producers was more than just wine tasting as we were shown around the facilities which was very interesting. The scenery in the area was outstanding and the short boat trip broke up the day.
