Awesome Half Day Trip

This half day trip offered plenty of the Wine Country experience. We were afraid that we would be rushed with it being a half day, but we were wrong! We were very satisfied with the trip and both of the wineries. We were educated about our tastings, given enough time to enjoy it, and able to explore each vineyard at our leisure.

Madonna wine tour great , the other winery I could do without

Jim at Madona wine tour was awesome, he really kept my interest ( I’m by no means an expert) and answered all my questions and really took time to explain everything. Wine tasting was so good I even subscribed to quarterly wine delivery. He let me and my family taste whatever we wanted and told us how mine was made and what affects the grape . HE IS THE BEST. The other winery was so dish and the girl who explained everything to us was so involved in herself , she never once explained anything to us . We could do without that winery . She kept bragging about herself and contracted everything that was explained on the first winery . I honestly don’t believe she knew anything about what she was talking about . All we knew from her is the home belongs to the late Mario Andretti. Such a waste of that tour
