Me and my family made a late autumn trip to this winery and had a great time. We were given a tour of the premises including the vineyard which looked stunning given the season. After that we were introduced to the locally produced wines which were very delicious and we ended up buying some to take with us. Owners are very friendly and approachable and take great care of their guests. Wines are authentic to the location and you can learn a lot about the local tradition. Given the scale of production and the fact that they are smaller, family-run producer, the approach is more personal and we really enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely recommend visiting this place.
