“Absolutely amazing. Very good value for money. You can really choose the depth of your experience. We did every part of the interactive journey in the Museum and it took us almost 4.5 hours to get through.

The lady who took the wine tasting was also a judge for the Chateau Grand Cru Wine Grading and…”

The only two things I would change is getting a third winery in over trying wines in the village. Also, sampling some higher end wines and more volume of wines. One winery they only had 2 types. Didn’t get enough wines tastings for my preference, The other winery was great but they didn’t lets us sample any of the wines we would buy, just the entry level ones we wouldn’t buy. Would have likely bought a case of the high end if I could have tried it. Just bought…”
