点评:I would rate the experience as good but slightly disappointed with the lack of a connection with the organizer. My spouse and I did a customized private wine tour to Langhe Valley with transport pick-up from our hotel in Turin and back. The driver was punctual, courteous and has good driving skills. He introduced himself as a driver (Marco is his name). He did not run the program for the day with us (though a brief itinerary was sent to us by email, I thought it was just customary and a personal touch to just summarize the day’s activities). He drove us directly to the first winery. There was no bottled water in the car which I normally expect for a day trip. On arrival, no mention of the name of the winery by the driver, a lady from the winery greeted us. We enjoyed the experience with her and she was led us to a garden to try 4 wines. Thereafter, the driver dropped us at Barolo town and pointed at a castle and said we can follow the road to the castle and find a place for lunch. I asked for some suggestions and he shrugged his shoulders. There were only 3 restaurants opened that day in that area and we had a quick lunch- nothing to shout about, definitely nothing to our expectation. The second winery was in Barolo and is a bigger company and we had a good experience with the gentleman who brought us around and let us try more wines than the 4 we were supposed to have. Then the driver picked us up and sent us back to our hotel in Turin. I think the company Meet Piedmonte failed to convey a personal touch with us for the day. No doubt the choices of wineries were good but our day was like an assembled sandwich with good ingredients served cold and with no personal touch at all. I’m giving this review having had experiences from a number of wine tours.
翻译:我认为这次体验不错,但由于与组织者缺乏沟通,多少有些失望。我和配偶参加的是定制的私人葡萄酒之旅,目的地为朗格谷地;司机从我们在都灵的酒店接上我们,行程结束后又送我们返回。司机很守时,彬彬有礼,驾驶技术也很好。他自我介绍说是司机(名叫马可)。不过他并未向我们详细介绍当天的行程安排(虽然我们事先通过邮件收到了一份简要的行程单)。我原以为简要总结一下当天的活动只是一种惯例,也是为了增添些个人色彩罢了。他直接开车带我们去了第一家酒庄。车上没有瓶装水,而通常在一日游时我都会期待能用到瓶装水。到达后,司机并没有提及酒庄的名字,这时一位酒庄的女工作人员来迎接我们。我们和她相处得很愉快,她带我们到花园里品尝了四种葡萄酒。之后……司机把我们送到巴罗洛镇后,指着一座城堡说我们可以沿着路走到城堡那里,然后找个地方吃午饭。我向他征求建议,他却耸了耸肩。那天那个地区只有三家餐馆营业,我们匆匆吃了顿午饭——味道一般,完全不合我们的期待。第二家酒庄位于巴罗洛,是一家规模较大的企业。带我们参观的先生人很好,允许我们品尝的葡萄酒数量也超出了原本规定的4种。随后司机来接我们,把我们送回了都灵的酒店。不过我觉得Meet Piedmonte这家公司在当天没能给我们带来那种贴心的服务体验。毫无疑问,所选的酒庄都很不错,但我们这一天的行程就像是拼凑起来的三明治——虽然用料不错,却是冷冰冰的,完全没有任何个性化的体验。我是在参加过多次葡萄酒之旅后才写下这条评论的。
