Customer Reviews
What a great experience! I tasted one white, one rosé, and two red wines from Bulgaria. The sommelier was very engaging, telling us interesting facts about each wine: where it was from, which grapes were used, and the winery. Everything was presented in a simple, easy-to-understand way. We also had a perfectly matched platter with cheeses, cured meats, crackers, and dried fruit, which paired excellently with the wines and really enhanced their flavor. I definitely recommend it—delicious wines and great service!
5 star wine tasting and antipasti board. Region wines owner was friendly , knowledgeable, delicious wines and no hard sell. We had a great time drinking and learning
We had a wonderful time on our boat trip! The captain and crew were very friendly and attentive. There was music playing as soon as we set sail to cruise along the coast before stopping for some fishing, then cruised some more to another spot to fish again, (whilst some passengers went for a swim) followed by a very tasty lunch. This included barbecued chicken and mackerel with lots of side dishes and watermelon slices. Our fellow passengers were varied, with couples, groups of friends and a family with young children. All of which were accommodated for. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, would definitely do it again and recommend it to others! Thank you for a memorable experience!
