Rated 5 out of 5

Holly – July 2, 2024

My husband I had a fabulous day with Ivan. He is a genuinely nice guy and made us feel super comfortable immediately.

The three wineries we visited were very different and we learned something new at each one. The wines were lovely and lunch in the vineyard was the icing on the cake! I wish I had some now! At the last stop, we sampled different types of chocolates to pair with different wines which truly was a wonderful way to end the day.

Penedès is an amazing region and Ivan is a wonderful guide! A hundred out of a hundred stars!
