Creator's Key Takeaways
The weather is perfect. This is November and it is the beginning of spring and it's really lovely.
In all the wine tastings I've been to, this is the first time where the guide used a whiteboard to explain the wine-making process.
This is among the best of the tastings we've had. I mean, just a great tour.
We really encourage you that visit where we are at the hostel Castanero is just a fantastic fantastic place.
