We travelled as a group of 12 with 6 under age kids and the tour was just fantastic, just sensational. First the Chef was on top of it to get everyone involved, he was very generous with his tips and directions so that we could reproduce the Paella recipe once back home. Each course of the meal was perfect and the setup was very comfortable. Second, we must speak of the site and the winery tour. We have done others with the same group and this we just the most entertaining, the most educational and engaging tour and to top it off, everything is walkable from the visitor centre. So far it has been our favourite winery tour in Europe. And finally the wines, and the speciality grape juices for the kids, were perfectly paired with the weather and the food. The winery staff was fantastic and they even accommodated a special request for our daughter’s birthday and it made for a very special day. Highly recommended from all of us!
Wonderful day!

What a treat this was! We had so much fun at the winery it was more than I expected. We were treated to a tasting of several varieties of wine, in addition to making a delicious salad and paella. We also had a bonus risotto, as someone on our visit was vegetarian. We left full, tipsy, and very happy! I would recommend this again for sure!
