This was our first visit to this winery. We arrived just after they opened at 11 AM, so there were only a few customers there. We did the full tasting of 7 wines and was very pleased.

And they didn't mind our well-behaved children tagging along to enjoy the scenery.
Between the four of us, we sampled nearly every wine on offer and enjoyed them all - especially the sparkling rose, which was outstanding. I'm already looking forward to a return when the weather...
