"The experience is absolutely unforgettable! We have completed extensive traveling including, but not limited to Italy and Paris and this is far the best wine tasting to date. The experience was intimate, personable. From the champagne on arrival, to the photo opportunity located at the best view of the vineyard on the property, to food and wine pairing where the the tartlet was indescribable. Listening to Tyler, a native Al, provide the history of the vineyard and background of labeling. Just an awesome experience, Visit, you will not regret it!!!"
