Andre - our guide for the wine tasting yesterday was both knowledgeable and personable and we visited 3 wineries and a restaurant for lunch along the way, each in a great location and with their own particular attractions .
Our companions included an Indian couple from Durban who 'didnt really drink wine' and skipped most of the tastings; three German students on a 6 month gap trip and a young Englishman with his new Californian wife who had just packed up their life in in London and were enjoying a 3 month holiday before relocating to San Diego.
Unfortunately the wine tastings were pretty disappointing - the cheaper wines were just that while some of the more expensive ones would have benefited from a something other than a glass of water to accompany them. In addition, none of the staff presenting the wines showed any enthusiasm or passion for what they were doing - very much going through the motions.
We picked up a couple of bottles to keep us company on our trip but looking forward to some independent visits today to see if we can do better.
