Amazing experience! The tour was fun and informative and the wine was wonderful. We enjoyed a light antipasti lunch during our wine tasting in the lovely tasting room overlooking beautiful vineyards and olive tree orchards. We wandered the grounds after lunch and returned to enjoy one more bottle of wine on the patio. We lingered and lingered for as long as we possibly could.
