Our wine tour was great. Our guides (Mateo and Martin) we very knowledgeable and just really nice people. With local knowledge but also good English, they made for the perfect go-between with the winery owners/operators.
We visited 2 smaller wineries which was really interesting. In the first we got a proper tour of the ancient building and how the 'old' process worked. This was great. The second stop was mainly just a tasting. I think the tastings were very informative and about the right quantity.
After the 2 wineries, Mateo and Martin took us on a nice walk around the ancient town of Laguardia, which was very impressive. We had a nice lunch there and the guys were great about selecting food for us so we could just relax and enjoy.
The only 2 things I think could have been better would be 1) if we had seen one of the bigger famous wineries like Ysios - which looks amazing from the outside and I imagine is quite impressive inside, and 2) I would have like to see more of the actual wine making process.
All in all, a great experience and our guides were fantastic.
