Worth every penny, a great day out if you like wine!
Discovering Madeira One Day Wine Tour的点评
点评:We went on the one day wine tour and our guide was Rubina. We got picked up at our apartment and chauffeured around the island by a very nice driver called Pedro and I must say that, at times, I was glad he was manoeuvring around the tight, windy roads and not me or my husband. Our first stop was Blandy’s and we tasted some lovely Madeiras there and had an interesting tour of their operation, giving us the history of their Company. The next stop was Barbusano Winery, in the North of the island, which made table wines. This was the best part of the tour where we got to taste six different table wines and had a wonderful lunch of beef espatada, chunks of steak cooked on wooden skewers over an open flame. The tour of the vineyard was also very interesting and provided amazing views. The last stop was for more Madeira at the Barberton winery in the hills above Camaro de Lobos. The chap who took the tour was brilliant, with just the right blend of knowledge and patter, before we got to taste two more Madeira wines, of which the Malvasia 10 y.o. was my favourite. Then we were taken right back to our apartment.
It was a great day out. Rubina (Ruby) was very good, organised, friendly and helpful, with great English speaking skills and an in depth knowledge of her subject. The trip went flawlessly and was worth every penny.
翻译:我们参加了为期一天的葡萄酒之旅,我们的导游是 Rubina。一位名叫 Pedro 的非常好的司机从我们的公寓来接我们,然后带我们游览了整个岛屿。我必须说,有时我很高兴他能绕着狭窄、多风的道路行驶,而不是我或我的丈夫。我们的第一站是 Blandy’s,我们在那里品尝了一些美味的马德拉酒,并参观了他们的经营活动,了解了他们公司的历史。下一站是岛屿北部的 Barbusano 酒庄,该酒庄生产餐酒。这是旅行中最精彩的部分,我们品尝了六种不同的餐酒,并享用了一顿美味的午餐,有牛肉煎饼,即用木串在明火上烤制的大块牛排。葡萄园之旅也非常有趣,可以欣赏到令人惊叹的景色。最后一站是位于 Camaro de Lobos 上方山丘上的 Barberton 酒庄,品尝更多马德拉酒。带我们参观的小伙子非常出色,知识和谈吐都恰到好处,之后我们又品尝了两款马德拉葡萄酒,其中我最喜欢的是马尔瓦西亚 10 年葡萄酒。然后我们被直接带回了公寓。
这是美好的一天。鲁比娜 (Ruby) 非常优秀、有条理、友好且乐于助人,英语水平很高,对她的专业领域有着深入的了解。这次旅行非常完美,物有所值。
