It is a great half-day trip for all ages. We had a great tour guide. We have experienced not only wine tasting, but also wine country and beach town.

I had the pleasure of attending tastings at two wineries, and the smaller group size allowed me to connect with everyone, enhancing the overall experience. Our guide was not only informative but also incredibly friendly. Additionally, being dropped back to the hotel was an added bonus.
