点评:The vineyard is in a lovely, peaceful setting with beautiful views, and unfortunately that was by far the best part of our experience. We were a group of 20 adults and children and had booked well in advance, so we were very surprised to arrive and find that seemingly very little had been prepared for us. We had to squeeze around a table that was not really suitable for a group of our size, and there was not even enough shade for everyone.
More disappointing was the tasting itself. We were not given any tour of the vineyard or explanation of the winemaking process, which is normally an important part of visiting a vineyard. There was also virtually no explanation of the wines or tasting notes. We were simply told the name of each wine and the grapes it was made from. The whole tasting felt rather flat and impersonal. There was very little enthusiasm when presenting the wines, and we never got the sense of pride or passion for the product that you would hope to experience at a vineyard. This made what should have been an interesting and enjoyable tasting feel more like simply being served a series of wines. Despite tasting a number of different wines, we were each given only one glass to use throughout the entire tasting. The quantities poured were also extremely small. Unfortunately, the wines themselves were not particularly to our taste. We had also booked the picnic, but the amount of food provided for a group of 20 was very underwhelming, particularly considering what we had paid.
We have been to many wine tastings over the years and have never had such a poor overall experience. With such a beautiful location, there is enormous potential here, but for a pre-booked group of our size we expected much better organisation, more generous hospitality and, above all, a more engaging and informative wine-tasting experience.
翻译:这座葡萄园坐落于一个风景优美、宁静祥和的环境中,不过遗憾的是,这几乎是我们此次体验中唯一值得称道的地方。我们一行有20名成人和儿童,而且早早便提前预订了,因此当我们抵达时,发现几乎没有任何为我们准备的安排,这让我们大感意外。我们不得不挤在一张并不适合这么多人使用的桌子旁,甚至连能让所有人乘凉的阴凉处都不够。
更令人失望的则是品酒环节本身。我们并没有获得任何葡萄园导览服务,也没有听到关于酿酒过程的讲解——而这些通常是参观葡萄园时的重要环节。关于葡萄酒本身及其品鉴笔记,也几乎没有任何介绍。我们只是被告知每种葡萄酒的名称以及所用的葡萄品种罢了。整个品酒过程显得相当乏味且缺乏人情味。讲解葡萄酒时也几乎看不到任何热情。我们始终没能产生那种在酒庄里理应拥有的对产品的自豪感或热情。这使得本应有趣又愉悦的品酒过程,变得更像是单纯地被端上一系列葡萄酒而已。尽管品尝了多种不同的葡萄酒,但每个人在整个品酒过程中都只得到一只酒杯来使用。倒进杯中的酒量也少得可怜。遗憾的是,这些葡萄酒本身也并不太符合我们的口味。我们还预订了野餐服务,但为20人准备的食物量实在少得可怜,尤其考虑到我们所支付的费用而言。
这些年来我们参加过无数次品酒活动,但这次的整体体验实在糟糕至极。这里的环境如此优美,本有巨大的发展潜力,但对于我们这样提前预订的团体而言,我们原本期望能有更周到的组织安排、更热情的招待服务,最重要的是,能有一场更具趣味性且信息丰富的品酒体验。
