Summary: Wonderful host (Katrin) led us on a walking tour through the village, giving knowledge about the region and wine making. She allowed for plenty of photos opportunities. Then a fabulous feast on fresh baked bread, meat and cheese which were delicious. A sample of wines with explanation before viewing the wine making facilities. Well worth the money, fabulous experience.
