It was a very nice tasting, and their wines were good/affordable. I thought the tasting was a little expensive for 5 wines and a a few hors d’ouvres, but I enjoyed it. Just a note, you cannot buy wine by the glass or stay longer than the tour unless you are a hotel guest.

My husband I spent an evening with Irene making pasta. The experience was amazing. In addition to learning how to make different types of pasta, we learned about some history and culture. We had great conversations with Irene and the dinner afterwards was awesome. Irene and Eugene made very tasty appetizers and dessert to go along with the pasta we made. It's a full evening and we were there for more than 3 hours. This is a must-do! Also, use the GPS coordinates to get there. We used the address and Waze couldn't quite get us there. This is out in the country and a car is necessary.
