Lovely visit on a lovely location with knowledgable staff

Beautiful surroundings, in a big garden overlooking the vinyards. We received excellent service from a very knowledgeable gentleman, who knew all about the wines. We had a nice cheese platter to go with the wine tasting. Lovely! Recommendable!
