Also trim the bushes so we ca enjoy the beautiful view. We had many half naked people coming from the pool thru our prrsentation, guide them another way. The guide(Elizabeth) was very knowledgeable and you could tell she had a passion for wine...but she could have poured a little more freely”

We celebrated my husbands 70th birthday with our adult kids and their spouses up here and we were blown away with the spectacular view and the amazing experience Nicolai and his family provided. The setting was breath taking and we had a full tour of the vineyards, cellar, personal library of wines and full explanation of the history of the winery as well as how they grow and produce the wine. Nicolai’s wife made this extra special by presenting a traditional cookie(birthday cake) and sang happy birthday in Italian!! An experience of a life time and one that will be with us all forever!!!
