Its wine tasting time!

Meet Anna, Banana, Manna

A little wine, a little smile.

After tasting and selecting wine, we were greeted with a plethora of snacks to complement our wine.

A broad spectrum of cheese to choose from.

Typical tourist items to prove that you went.

There were plenty of seating buffering the winery to picnic.
