The tour is much too big with too many people. The first winery was great, a mini tour, the tasting was paired with chocolates made specifically for the wines. It was perfect. The second stop was a choice of two restaurants....and only one had either wine or beer tasting. I asked for wine and they gave me a flight of four random wines, never told me what they were. The glasses were filled pretty high. So if you're just on the tour to drink, then I suppose it's a good one. The third place was bubbly wines with small charcuterie setting on picnic tables outside. It was cute.
