点评:I visited Burrowing Owl winery with my husband during a brief 15-minute stop, and unfortunately it felt like a complete waste of our time and the gas we used to get there.
We were staying at the Watermark resort in beautiful Osoyoos, which was a five-star experience, and decided to take a short drive to a winery. Phantom wineries were closed on Wednesday, so we chose Burrowing Owl because wine tasting was listed as open. When we walked in, it was clear the staff were busy with other customers, so we browsed the store to pass the time.
Eventually, when someone became available, I stepped up to the counter, but no one came to talk to us. My husband went over to speak with a clerk and asked if there was a patio to sit at. The clerk replied that there isn’t one, and there was no follow-up with any offer to help or to let us taste any wines. It felt like our presence didn’t register at all, and there was no proactive customer service or invitation to explore their wines.
Overall, the experience was underwhelming and did not reflect the quality I expect from a winery visit, especially after a high-end stay elsewhere. If you’re hoping for attentive service, a tasting, or even a place to sit and enjoy a glass, this visit left us disappointed and itching to leave.
翻译:我和丈夫在短暂的15分钟停留期间参观了Burrowing Owl酒庄,但很遗憾,感觉完全浪费了时间和汽油。
我们住在风景优美的奥索尤斯(Osoyoos)的Watermark度假村,体验非常棒,于是决定开车去附近的酒庄看看。由于Phantom Winerys周三关门,我们选择了Burrowing Owl,因为他们的酒庄页面显示品酒开放。我们进去后发现工作人员都在忙着接待其他顾客,所以我们就在店里逛了逛打发时间。
最后,终于有空了,我走到柜台前,却没有人过来招呼我们。我丈夫走过去问店员有没有露台可以坐。店员回答说没有,之后也没有主动提出帮忙或者让我们品尝葡萄酒。感觉我们完全被忽视了,他们既没有主动提供客户服务,也没有邀请我们品尝他们的葡萄酒。总的来说,这次体验令人失望,远未达到我对酒庄之旅的预期,尤其是在其他地方享受过高端住宿之后。如果您期待的是周到的服务、品酒体验,甚至是找个地方坐下来慢慢品尝一杯,那么这次酒庄之行只会让我们失望而归,恨不得立刻离开。
