Lovely but had medical issue…

Lovely family ranch with nice staff. Everything was expected and the details for the experience are exactly what you get. Wine, food, animals, lunch, a folklore show, horseback riding, and dancing. We really enjoyed everything and the ranch operators were kind and accommodating. The tour guide was wonderful too. We enjoyed the short stop in the town to shop and buy chocolate before moving to the ranch. With that said, I must share that my 13 year old son was very ill after we returned home and diagnosed with Shiga toxic E Coli. My son touched all the animals and ate the meat meal at the ranch. It’s the only thing in our trip and timeline that would expose him (a serious bacteria that incomes from undercooked meat or contact with animals) He was hospitalized for 4 days within days of being at the ranch.

Book It

Amazing! This was the first time I’ve had such good food on a group trip. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind, and I would definitely recommend booking here. If you go during the winter, make sure to dress warmly, but overall it was such a relaxing experience!
