Reviews
It was good. There was no interruption during the whole process and I could communicate with the people in the store in detail.
The guide was pleasant but overall, this can be done on your own. The place we tasted was a regular restaurant, nothing special. Limited information provided. You can go to the museum, do the tasting and walk around the super quaint village in your own for a third of the price.
