The day started on time and Tom Favitta, our driver, was bright and cheerful. Throughout the day, at all of the various wineries we visited, he provided wonderful added information and comments. The wineries we visited were, for the most part, fantastic and much wine was consumed and purchased. Would definitely use this service again in the future and would definitely request Tom to drive us!
