Original wine and castle wine tours - We had a great time with Sam on the original wine tour! The experience was so much fun that we decided to do the castle wine tour 2 days later! Sam was friendly, fun and gently kept us all on schedule so we had plenty of time to enjoy our wine and the beautiful scenery!
