Informative and personal - We were picked up from our hotel and the guide kicked off with talking about each area we passed. We skipped the line and got in quickly. We had a lite lunch while she took a break and then we went to the small store on-site. Never rushed. The winery was amazing and service there was like Napa. From there we stopped at the museum and had a very informative session. Marinela even went back to some exhibits as questions came up. Best part we never felt rushed or hurried!
