“Do not book this tour and waste your money!!! I booked a tour for me and one other person we were forced to split all the tastings so basically charged for two tastings and given one. On top of that we didn’t even have 10 tastings! What you see in description and the food is not what you get. You won’t be trying wine or burgers or any of that! The description of the tour does not match what actually happens. Our tour guy was so distracted he was on his phone the entire time we repeatedly had to ask him the same questions because he was so distracted. Fighting…”
