Reviews
As someone who doesn't like rigid schedules and is easily tired out by large groups but does enjoy wine and new experiences, this trip was a perfect balance. Except for the bus timings, you are free to go around the festival and area as you like. Because we split into smaller groups, we could exchange notes on which stalls to visit when we bumped into each other. Divide and conquer!
It was fun, we saw the festival and tasted grapes and wines, there is many winery would have spent more if the highway was clearer that day
とても楽しかったです!
For me, most of the fun happened once the sun went down. That's when they lit the torches, the drums came out on stage, and then fireworks! During the day it's walking from winery to winery which is a nice walk but a bit too hot on the day we went.
Great time! No expectations so no disappointments. Guides were great. Day was gorgeous! No complaints here!!
