I especially liked that we had an early start so we missed the crowds coming later in the morning. The second part of the tour at a local family is Ed winery was everything you would imagine a family owned winery in Spain to be.

“We loved this experience. Santi was great as were the other employees we had contact with. My only suggestion is that for the winery to improve their signage. We had to take a taxi to the winery and bc there was no sign saying it was ARTCAVA the taxi driver and we didnt know we were there actually in the right place so we spent $43 trying to find it. And bc of that we held up the whole group. Santi and the other guests were so nice about the delay. We throughly appreciated it that. I would highly recommend the experience, it was so fun. Thank you.”
