点评:Treated ourselves on our extended holiday to celebrate my retirement and booked the First Taste half day tour. Was amazing and well worth it.
Lavinia and Swafka were our guide and driver today, as we went round the vineyards in 'Dave' the Land Rover, and they were so knowledgeable and made the trip even more worthwhile. They took care to personalise our visit and answered all our questions, giving us a great insider awareness of the history and the story behind the brand,as well as the local farming and growing/picking methods.
Lavinia then helped us with our tasting session , which was superb, and introduced us to some new wines, which we loved. We bought some to take away and also arranged to have some delivered to home to use as gifts for our family. Much better than a T shirt!
Ended our visit with lunch, which was an additional cost to our tour, but enabled us to linger in the delightful premises they have there. Nothing was rushed. Everyone was kind and friendly.
We recommend this is a planned stop to those who like the brand already, or to wine lovers who would like to see what the fuss is all about. Suggest you book ahead for a tasting at this time of year, as we saw a few 'drop ins' who couldn't be immediately accommodated whilst we were there. We booked the First Taste tour as soon as the dates became available months ago, as it was something we didn't want to miss out on.
Thanks to Lavinia and Swafka for making it such a lovely day and a memorable part of our holiday!
翻译:为了庆祝退休,我们延长了假期,并预订了 First Taste 半日游,犒劳自己。非常棒,非常值得。
今天,Lavinia 和 Swafka 担任我们的导游和司机,我们乘坐“Dave”路虎游览葡萄园,他们知识渊博,让这次旅行更加值得。他们精心安排了我们的个性化游览,回答了我们所有的问题,让我们对品牌背后的历史和故事以及当地的农业和种植/采摘方法有了很好的了解。
Lavinia 随后帮助我们进行了品酒会,这非常棒,并向我们介绍了一些我们喜欢的新葡萄酒。我们买了一些带走,还安排了一些送到家里作为送给家人的礼物。比一件 T 恤好多了!
游览结束时享用了午餐,这需要额外付费,但让我们可以在那里的宜人环境中流连忘返。一切都很顺利。每个人都很友好。
我们建议那些已经喜欢这个品牌的人,或者那些想看看到底是怎么回事的葡萄酒爱好者,可以计划好来这里。建议您提前预订每年这个时候的品酒活动,因为我们看到一些“突然造访”的人在我们在那里的时候无法立即得到安排。几个月前,我们一有日期就预订了 First Taste 之旅,因为这是我们不想错过的。
感谢 Lavinia 和 Swafka 让这一天如此美好,成为我们假期中难忘的一部分!
