Frequently asked questions about this tour
Are the tastings included in the guiding fee?
The guiding fee covers the guide’s service; the food and drink at each tasting stop are paid separately on the spot. That way you can adjust the selection to your own taste.
Can you accommodate allergies or intolerances?
Please let us know about any allergies or intolerances in advance so the guide can choose or adapt the stops accordingly. However, a 100% guarantee cannot be given for tastings at third-party venues.
How large can the group be for this tour?
As the tasting stops have limited space, this tour is especially suitable for smaller groups. Larger groups are possible by arrangement, potentially with an adjusted itinerary.
