We had one of the most nicest experiences at the winery, Fernanda our tour guide was amazing. I learned so much from her from the history of the chateau to the biology and science behind the process of wine making. She was very knowledgeable about everything. Answered all of questions, and no doubt made our tour easy and very enjoyable. If you ever go, ask for Fernanda 😁.

We had a wonderful tasting experience at the winery. The wines were excellent — elegant and well-crafted.

It’s clear she cares about making visitors feel welcome and enjoy the tasting. Highly recommended!

Both well mannered, knowledgeable about the win...
