Four of us tourists sampled at least 6 wines first in the vineyard, then inside a villa surrounded by giant oak barrels then in the new tasting room with a panoramic view. Rosa was fun, knowledgeable and very nice to listen to. I can tell she loves her job. I loved the wines and the Jeep experience. I couldn’t believe how good the wine prices are at this winery. Next time I will bring back bottles.”
