“We had fantastic weather for a start, the “tour” I thought would of been more about seeing around the place, where it’s made and how it’s made etc, while the information was good and I learnt a thing or two, it would of been better to actually be shown around the place.

Had a baguette with cheeses, olives, meats, crackers, hummus, etc etc, food was great, wine with lunch was great, tasting was great, had a fantastic day and highly recommend it!”
