“Something to keep in mind some wineries charge people even though people do not drink. It would be nice to know ahead of time how much they charge. You are given an estimate but it’s best to know the exact amount and also which wineries we are going to. We only knew of one in specific which was the castle. Also, the pizza that was included with the ticket was not offered. The restaurant was closed. The good thing we went to a different place. We did pay however, we were reimbursed. Overall, the experience was fun. Met people from different places.”
