Someone slipped with our reservation...WINERY was fantastic
Booked the reservation weeks ahead of schedule. Received a confirmation email from Fernando. All was well until that day.

2. 45 min- 1 hour ride with a non-English speaking drive who got lost
3. Arrived at Marichal Winery and they were not expecting us but were super in taking the 4 of us on a tour and even whipping...read more
