What people say about this operator.
What they like?
A guide with loads of energy and local know how, relaxed cellar door tastings with time to linger, plus cheese and wood fired pizza that make it great value.
What could be better?
Honestly, not much. Pace yourself on the tastings so you still have the legs to explore Richmond at the end of the day.
