Creator's Key Takeaways

In the description, it talked about heading out into the farm to see the lavender fields and where some of the herbs and other plants were grown.

Inside, we tried some local apparatives that were handmade by the owner. We had a beautiful meats and cheeses tray, some pickled vegetables.

Wine Paradise was a very commercial wine tasting stop. There were three other large buses there while we were there, but it did have some beautiful views.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Because we booked a Norwegian excursion, our bus picked us up right next to the ship.
