★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 23 reviews · 2 hours · from $57Best value

Clara often leads the outing, sharing stories about the lake, local grapes, and village traditions. Sunset departures offer the prettiest light, but bring a jacket and arrange your own ride back.

“We hebben een hele leuke avond gehad. Het was gezellig en leerzaam. Clara vertelde met passie over de wijnen en de streek. Ze was super vriendelijk en grappig. Het was een relaxe sfeer, niet te serieus en daar houden we van. Zondag avond was het er zeer rustig en konden we genieten van de stille natuur. De gekozen wijnen waren lekker, de foodpairing was subliem. We raden dit enorm aan! Bedankt Clara voor deze leuke avond.”
