Getting to tour around a smaller village to see what a more local village looked like was such a better experience than the busy, more popular villages. The wine tasting was delicious and we learned a lot, the cooking class was so much fun and so delicious! Every aspect of this tour was perfect. We came to learn about cooking and left feeling like we made great friends. You can’t miss this…”
