He was kind enough to seriously try and judge our first attempts to make our own Mojo. We will definitely keep doing those at home! We also appreciate that the more expensive wines were also open for trial-per-glass, not only the more common ones.”

“Absolutely fantastic! I was a little sceptical at first as it states only one hour but it was worth every penny and I would recommend this experience to anyone. My wife and I booked for 2pm and it wasn’t very busy so had the place and the guide to ourselves. We chose to add a massage at the end which cost €45 each for 25 mins and we left this place feeling the most relaxed we have ever been! If you have the opportunity, I strongly urge you to try this.”
