Gregg put together a great wine tour of small boutique wineries. We are so glad that we did not have our own list as Gregg's choices were excellent. Not only did they provide great wines for our tasting but the wine makers were all lovely, friendly, down to earth people who made us very welcome and where most interesting The day will be very high on our list of happy memories for many years to come. Well done Gregg and thank you. Pat and Paris.

My wife and I loved being in a small group atmosphere which made it super easy to get to know everyone in our group. The wineries that we went to were first class and our lunch was amazing. We loved being picked up from our hotel and dropped of that evening with no more to pay. All entry and tasting fees (and lunch) were included in the price which made it super easy. The knowledge of our hosts was impeccable which added to the experience. Having knowledge of the winery and its history while tasting their wines only added to the experience.
