What an amazing experience. We went during the off season, so it ended up just being us. The chef (Christina) made our experience very memorable. From start to finish, just amazing.

Fantastic experience. Went to two very different wineries. Not only did we get to taste incredible wines, but we also learned so much!! Highly recommend!

Very friendly and informative. I was having difficulty walking that day and she found plenty of places for me to rest. Highly recommend

A great and inspiring experience. Only we were sent to the end point instead of the start (via the app)

It was excellent and great fun! I highly recommend this cooking class.
