Justine made the tour very approachable to us (without much previous knowledge or experience in wine tasting or the region). Being from the surrounding area, Justine provided so much cultural history and wine-making traditions- it was clear how much personal interest and passion she has for her work. The wines (and snacks) were delicious and the company was friendly and informative! We were lucky enough to get a sunny day of the week and enjoyed the break from the city on this tour.
