“Absolutely sublime evening tasting a variety of wines with superb complimenting appetisers. We felt really looked after by Latisha who explained the different wines, of which tasters were plentiful! Even our daughter who couldn’t drink the wines was able to learn how to correctly hold the glass, and pick up on different aromas…they even cooked some spaghetti for her! We felt under no obligation to buy and as a result, we will absolutely look for the Tenuta brand when we are next buying wine. Thank you!”
