We were lucky enough to have seen the tour on AirBnb. Lucky for a few reasons, that they were open in December and we were the only tourists/visitors there that morning. The gentleman (I'm bad with names anyway, especially after the fact) walking us through the tour was delightful, and answered all of our questions and took all the time needed to explain everything.

I would definitely recommend visiting, and arranging for a tour or tasting...

Highly recommend this experience for anyone who is looking for something a bit unique to do for a...
