Your guide was very knowledgeable. Tour got a late start and had another large group they had to deal with.

We had a very nice guided tour, saw the castle and the guide told us a lot about the history of it and how it developed to what it is now: a very big and nice wine, olive oil and honey producing company. The guide was also very friendly and welcoming.

The facility was impressive and the people were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the historic castle and the grounds during the tour. We liked our guide very much and his knowledge of the area, grapes and production methods were outstanding.

Attention! On Google Maps, this place indicates a vineyard, a place of wine production. Wines can be tasted and purchased at a nearby castle. Despite the peak of the grape harvest season, one of the staff took the time for a quick chat and showed the way to the castle.
