The wines were all perfectly balanced to reflect a time of day; a breakfast, a lunch and a dinner wine :) Unfortunately the bike was broken down on the day but we were offered an olive oil tasting in lieu, which was awesome! Beautifully accompanied by delicious bread. Then on to the lunch at another winery with a quick tour and tasting of a number of their reds. The lunch was a 4 course meal that we struggled to finish, but so so good. Overall, would recommend as a great way…”
