Reviews
Primeira vinicola visitada horrível na qualidade da visita em si como na qualidade do vinho. (Prichine) Pessoa que nos recebeu não foi cordial. A segunda visita foi razoável (Margaux). Mas nenhuma com padrão de visita agradável (já visitamos Mendonza, África do Sul, Chile, EUA...). Sempre recebidos com aperitivos e a oferta de vinho para apreciação também, não somente para um gole. Quando gostávamos do vinho, não julgavam adequada a segunda dose. Muito desagradável isso.
Alex, our guide, is incredibly knowledgeable about wine and the wine making process. We thoroughly relished his expertise and delighted in the choices of the two wineries we visited. The first, Mas de Cadenet, is a family owned winery; it began in 1813. The second winery was Domaine Jas Monges, which after 70 years and four generations later, went from winegrowers to winemakers. It was a wonderful morning and we enjoyed it immensely.
On time, enjoyable
