Fantastic wine tour - Had a wonderful tour with Emma and the gorgeous wine puppy Bella! Highly recommend. Emma has great knowledge of the region, very informative. This is the second time we have experienced Alpine Wine tours and the standout for us was Kinross this time. Book now, you won’t be disappointed

Nice tasting but no vineyards- - Although our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, we really didnt visit vineyards, just the tasting rooms. Two of the spokespersons for the wineries were very knowledgeable and friendly whereas at one, he barely showed up to pour us some wine. We had nice places to sit and were very comfortable but no actual vineyards were seen. I would have loved to visit the actual vineyards and sit outside to hear their stories. There was really no food served but after asking, we were allowed to buy some appetizers at second vineyard. Should be advertised to eat lunch first. Tour was from 3-6:30. We did get to taste many different wines which was nice, but I guess the ambiance of the vineyards was missing for us. It was such a lovely day to be herded inside but there was no place to sit outside.
