Frequently asked questions
Are the tastings included in the tour price?
The tastings at each stop are paid for on the spot and are not part of the guiding fee. That way you can decide flexibly what and how much you would like to try.
Can dietary requirements or vegetarian preferences be accommodated?
Yes, it is best to tell us about any dietary requirements when booking. We can then adjust the stops so there is something suitable for everyone in the group.
Is this tour suitable for larger groups?
Beyond a certain group size, some stalls and smaller venues can get crowded. For larger groups we agree the stops in advance so the tastings work smoothly for everyone.
