点评:We were very much looking forward to visiting given that Dr. Konstantin is the Finger Lakes pioneer. Had plans to be in the area Columbus Day weekend and a few months in advance we were unable to get tickets for the 1886 wine experience.
We ended up with the very early 10AM Vinifera tour. It was a cool overcast day and it was all outdoors so bear this in mind when booking. We were offered umbrellas to use for the pending rain but it mercifully held off. Our guide had only been with the company for a year and did an adequate job with the presentation. Felt he could have attempted to connect with the audience and perhaps offer to take a picture or two along the way. There were 3 unrelated couples and one single so it wouldn't have cost him much time.
The tasting glass was included as well as a bottle of water and two delicious farm to table flat bread slices at the end. We tasted 5 wines, all very good.
Was not won over by any of the staff. Initially upon arriving it was an efficacious and cool check-in and as alluded to the guide didn't go out of the way to connect with anyone in the group. We learned one another's stories by conversing for a bit after he left us to carry on with his day! Bathroom, even at the early hour, was in need of attention.
翻译:我们一直十分期待能去参观,毕竟康斯坦丁博士可是芬格湖区葡萄酒产业的开拓者。我们原计划在哥伦布日周末前往该地,但提前几个月尝试预订“1886葡萄酒体验之旅”的门票时却未能成功。
最终我们参加的是早上10点开始的Vinifera导览游。那天天气阴冷多云,而且整个游览过程都在户外进行,所以预订时请务必考虑到这一点。虽然工作人员提供了雨伞以防下雨,但幸运的是当天并没有下雨。我们的导游加入公司才一年,他在讲解过程中表现得还可以。我觉得他本可以试着与观众互动,甚至中途主动提出帮大家拍几张照片。当时现场有三对互不相识的情侣和一位单身人士,这样做也不会花他太多时间。
活动最后还提供了品酒杯、一瓶水,以及两片美味可口的“从农场到餐桌”风格的扁面包。我们品尝了五种葡萄酒,全部都非常出色。没有任何一位工作人员能让我心生好感。刚到达时,办理入住手续的效率很高且过程顺畅;正如前文所述,导游也并未刻意去与团里的任何人交流。在他离开后,我们聊了一会儿,才互相了解了彼此的经历!至于浴室,即便在那么早的时间,也明显需要打扫整理。
