This was an absolute fantastic 10 person wine tasting in a family run winery (Botaro). All my wife and I (plus the others) had to do was: learn about the 4 wines on offer; drink them; and eat the lovely meats, cheeses and salads - ALL, like the wines, home made and grown. We were all collected from our various hotel by the lovely Azra, taken to a collection point, and then driven in a comfy mini-bus by the charming Peter. The host speaker, Anthony was knowledgeable and poured very generous amounts of the different wines. There was no rushing us through the tastings and, after about the 3rd wine, we were all very happy and getting quite merry insomuch that we had an Internation sing-song amongst our lovely group consisting of: Irish; American; Australian and Japanese. The singing got even better when, to our surprise, we were taken to a different area to sample 7 different spirits of contrasting strengths. Afterwards and getting merrier, we were invited by 'Mother' to buy (absolutely no pressure) the wines and spirits that we tasted. We then boarded our mini-bus where the charming Peter, drove us back to our Hotels (more singing involved).
The whole experiance was fabulous, from the time we were picked up, to the time we were all returned. Thank you, City of Stone, for a memorable day, and thank you to the Botaro family for lovely wines and spirits and for making my wife and I so happy.
