点评:If you miss the old Napa, then this is the vineyard for you.
Visiting Vincent Arroyo had that authentic, old school Napa Valley "welcome into my home" charm that I remember from my first visit 45 years ago --- when family vineyards were still owned and worked by the actual families and before the region became so commercialized and gimmicky. A special shoutout to Jeffrey, who made our visit truly exceptional. His genuine hospitality, knowledge, and down-to-earth approach perfectly captured the spirit of wine country a half-century ago. It was very informal: as new groups with different reservation times showed up early, he simply weaved them into the existing tour. I got the feeling that every tasting tour was unique. The wines were fantastic too (especially the Port for me), but the genuine, unpretentious atmosphere is what will bring us back.
Highly recommended if you want to experience Napa the way it used to be!
翻译:如果你怀念昔日的纳帕,那么这家葡萄园绝对适合你。
参观文森特·阿罗约葡萄园时,我感受到了那种纯正且充满温馨的旧式纳帕谷氛围——那种“就像走进自家家门一般”的亲切感,正是45年前我初次到访时所体验到的。那时,各个家族仍亲自拥有并经营着自己的葡萄园,整个地区也尚未变得如此商业化与浮夸。特别要感谢杰弗里,他让我们的体验无比特别。他的真诚好客与渊博知识……这种亲切自然的风格完美再现了半个世纪前葡萄酒产地的风貌。整个氛围非常随意:当不同时间段预约的新团体提早抵达时,他便直接把他们编入现有的导览行程中。我感觉到,每一次品酒之旅都是独一无二的。葡萄酒也极其出色(对我而言,波特酒尤其出色),但那种真诚而不做作的氛围才是让我们愿意再次光临的原因。
如果你想体验昔日的纳帕风情,绝对推荐这里!
