点评:I arrived here first thing in the morning for a 9:30am tour. Seeing the sun rise over the vineyards was spectacular, and when I arrived I was the only one for the tour. Since I arrived a little earlier than scheduled, I was able to get a coffee from their coffee bar and look around the vineyard and take some photos. The Bodega itself is very beautiful, with a sweeping vaulted roof and a lot of interesting displays - almost like a mini-museum.
My tour guide was Martin, who spoke both English and Spanish. He was terrific and provided me a fabulous tour all around the facility. He is very knowledgeable, and provided plenty of opportunities for me to ask questions throughout the tour. After, when it was time for the tasting, he spent some time talking to me about some of the other, rarer wines that they make and sell, and this was extremely helpful when choosing wines to take home with me back to the states. I didn't feel rushed at all, and was able to discuss each wine in detail with him, and also his own personal favorites. I am very grateful for his patience and guidance as I wanted to ensure I brought a couple great wines back to enjoy during the holidays.
The wines themselves were terrific and were paired very well. When making the reservation, you have the option to add some other items, which for me consisted of a muffin and orange juice since I hadn't had time to eat breakfast prior to my arrival. I really liked how well organized the entire facility is. As soon as the tour was completed, the wine tasting, pairing, and additional items I had ordered were already setup neatly and ready for me. Not a thing here was out-of-place. I know this is one of the more popular stops on the Casablanca wine route, but now I understand the reason. It's beautiful, inviting, well-organized, informative, and immaculately clean. The bodega has a terrific variety of wines on offer, and service is very helpful and friendly.
I left with two nice bottles of wine, and I cannot wait to enjoy them at Christmas with the family. My only hiccup came when I was trying to get there via Google Maps. I was coming from Valparaiso, and the map directions had me go to the employee entrance on the western side of the vineyard. The main visitor entrance is actually right off Route 68, on the east side of the vineyard. It wasn't a big deal because the guard at the employee entrance let me in and told me where to go. Shout-out to him for this help!
Overall, I am very happy I visited this beautiful vineyard. It was a great way to start my day, and I would recommend a visit here as a first stop on you wine tour of the valley, especially since they open early. Just be sure you make your reservations prior to visiting, and plan to spend at least a couple hours here. It will be well worth it!
翻译:我一大早就来到这里,参加 9:30 的游览。看到太阳从葡萄园升起,景色十分壮观,当我到达时,我是这次游览的唯一游客。由于我比预定时间早到一点,所以我可以从他们的咖啡吧喝杯咖啡,环顾葡萄园并拍一些照片。酒窖本身非常漂亮,拥有宽阔的拱形屋顶和许多有趣的展品 - 几乎就像一个迷你博物馆。
我的导游是 Martin,他会说英语和西班牙语。他很棒,带我参观了整个酒窖。他知识渊博,在整个游览过程中为我提供了大量提问的机会。之后,到了品酒时间,他花了一些时间与我谈论他们生产和销售的其他一些稀有葡萄酒,这对我选择带回美国的葡萄酒非常有帮助。我一点也不着急,能够和他详细讨论每一种葡萄酒,以及他个人的最爱。我非常感谢他的耐心和指导,因为我想确保我带回几瓶好酒,在假期期间享用。
葡萄酒本身非常棒,搭配也很好。预订时,您可以选择添加一些其他物品,对我来说,这些物品包括松饼和橙汁,因为我在到达之前没有时间吃早餐。我真的很喜欢整个设施的井然有序。游览一结束,我订购的品酒、搭配和其他物品就已经整齐地准备好了。这里没有一件东西是不合适的。我知道这是卡萨布兰卡葡萄酒之路上最受欢迎的站点之一,但现在我明白了原因。它美丽、诱人、井然有序、信息丰富,而且一尘不染。这家酒窖提供种类繁多的葡萄酒,服务非常热情友好。
我带走了两瓶好酒,迫不及待地想在圣诞节和家人一起享用它们。我唯一的小问题出现在我试图通过谷歌地图到达那里的时候。我来自瓦尔帕莱索,地图指示我去葡萄园西侧的员工入口。主游客入口实际上就在 68 号公路旁,在葡萄园的东侧。这没什么大不了的,因为员工入口的警卫让我进去,并告诉我去哪里。感谢他的帮助!
总的来说,我很高兴参观了这个美丽的葡萄园。这是开始我一天的好方式,我建议你把这里作为山谷葡萄酒之旅的第一站,尤其是因为他们开门很早。一定要在参观之前预约,并计划在这里至少呆几个小时。这绝对值得!
