Day 2: Hiking at Neyen Winery | Visit Lapostolle Winery

After the walk, you visit the barrels and enjoy a wine tasting before sitting down for a delicious country-style lunch paired with wine.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
