Unfortunately, this was probably the worst alcohol related tour we had ever been on. We started with a quick whistletop tour of the "museum" which had a few displays about the history of Noy. The tour guide briefly said a few things at each point, but this was barely a few sentences. Next, we were taken the cellar, where we had a chance to take some pictures. Once again, the tour guide said maybe 5 or 6 sentences the whole time. We tried a 1946 fortified wine here, which was, at least, somewhat interesting. The tour finished with a quick tasting of a 5 year old and a 10 year old brandy. The guide gave the barest minimum of instruction for how to taste it, before leaving us to our own volition. I came away from the tour knowing nothing more about brandy production or consumption.

Later we were given two glasses of 20 and 10 yr old aged brandy with some fruit. I have traveled all over the world and know when something is to...
Read moreI came here with my family on the 14th of September 2018, there was 11 of us from new Zealand and we had a tour booked for 2pm.
At 2.40pm our tour guide (Ana I think her name was) turned up to take us in and got very angry at us because some of us wanted the tour with tasting and some without tasting.
Once we had paid and started the tour she showed us around telling us information, but seemed to not be too happy about answering our questions.
Finally at the end while doing the tasting it seemed she was really trying to make us hurry and leave so she could be free.
This would be a good tour if we had a...
