A very relaxing, unrushed day tasting wines at 3 vineyards. Vineyard hosts were pleasant, informative and not pushy. Each vineyard was a unique experience! Our tour host, Anthony, was extremely knowledgeable, willing to talk wine and answer questions, professional, well-organized, and friendly. He did a superb job! One of the best benefits was being picked up and dropped off at our lodging. All-in-all a delightful day!
