Reviews
Great fun trip. Obviously visiting the wineries rather than vineyards as it was late December but a fun day. Excellent guide and a fun group which always helps.
Pascell was outstanding! Very passionate and got us to the cemetery in time to watch the emotional USA flag ceremony.
OMVISNING PÅ GÅRDEN OG TEST AV PRODUKTENE VAR OK, MEN TUREN BLE LANG OG DET VAR IKKE RIKTIG TID PÅ ÅRET, FARGENE VAR IKKE KOMMET FREM OG SOLSIKKER VAR GRØNNE. BORTKASTET DAG PÅ FAMILIE PÅ 4.
