Must do wine tour with incredible guide!

Melanie_M, Mar 2025
I cannot express enough wonderful things to say about our day wine tasting with Jan. Having someone with such an incredible background and history in wine making made the experience better than I could’ve asked for! His insight, stories and professionalism were wonderful. He as well gave us insight into many local facts of the area and provided wonderful company throughout the day. Villera winery stole the show and was incredible! We as well had lunch at Kleine Zalze before the tasting and the food was extremely good!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Melanie So glad to hear you enjoyed our Sparkling Sensation private tour! Happy to hear that the selection of estates we planned and the guide was excellent. Thank you so much for booking!

Definitely Going to Repeat

Michael_C, Mar 2024
Enjoyed the experience immensely. Felt taken care of, as my guide took me on a private charter tour. There were unavoidable changes to my travel; however, the company was responsive and accommodated. Definitely recommend.

Wineries specializing in bubbles!

Molly_C, Dec 2023
Guide had a lot of wine industry knowledge but hadn’t visited any of the wineries recently and this wasn’t super knowledgeable about the bubbles we were trying which detracted from the experience.
