The staff on arrival were friendly and polite, each farm we visited the staff were friendly and informative. It was so much fun and I would highly recommend doing the wine tasting to all friend and family - Janine
The Wine Tram experience was absolutely amazing!! I would recommend it to anyone - especially the Pink line.... The wine and chocolate pairings was stunning (especially at Chamonix) and the wine and Nougat pairing at Grande Provance was my favourite! Our host on the bus - Victoria Secret also made our day extra special and the whole experience even better!!! - Leandra
