The museum is amazing and a must see for everyone who loves technology and wants to learn more about the history present and future of computers and their power. This is quite large place and with so many interactive areas so plan few hours of fun time there. Museum is great for kids and adults. My family spent the whole day there and the food is amazing too. We will definitely be back.

Our tour guide was probably the best part about this wine tour! The wines were ok, but Jason was so much fun, he knew and appreciated every person at all three wineries, he took the time out to talk to every person on the tour, and his recommendations were perfect! If you're lucky enough, you'll get Jason!
