点评:We went on a Vineyard tour and tasting on 23rd August. We had a great tour with our fabulous host Tim, who showed us around the different vines and talked to us about the wine making process before heading back inside the barn for our tasting.
We had some great wines and wanted to buy a couple of cases costing over £400. This is where the disappointment came. We had paid for the tour with a gift voucher and wanted to use the remainder towards our cellar door purchase (we were told we could do this when we booked). The staff however refused to accept their own voucher saying it could only be used online, which is contrary to what we’ve previously been told. Despite reasoning with them, the staff still refused to accept the voucher so we walked away and didn’t buy anything. I don’t understand why a venue sells a voucher that cant be used at the property, and it also lacks the financial acumen to realise that not accepting the small voucher cost (£50) would mean they miss out on over £400 of sales.

我们品尝到了不少美酒,于是想购买几箱,总价值超过400英镑。然而,正是这里让我们大失所望。我们用礼品券支付了旅游费用,原本打算把剩余的金额用于购买酒庄的酒品(预订时有人告知我们可以这么做)。然而,工作人员却拒绝接受他们自己发行的礼品券,称该券只能在网上使用,这与我们之前得到的说明完全不符。尽管我们试图与他们沟通解释,他们仍坚持不接受礼品券,最后我们只好离开,什么也没买。我不明白为什么一家场所会出售在自家场所无法使用的优惠券,而且他们也缺乏基本的商业头脑,意识不到不接受这区区50英镑的优惠券费用会导致他们损失超过400英镑的潜在营收。
