点评:One aspect of our recent three-week holiday in Australia that we found disappointing was the increasing commercialisation of many visitor experiences. Whether it was paying for photos with a wombat or koala, high entry fees to attractions, or charges to attend dolphin feeding sessions, it often felt that there was a cost attached to everything.
Wine tasting in Margaret River was no exception. What was once a complimentary experience has been replaced by structured tasting options, where visitors pay to sample a selected number of wines. In fairness, the tasting fee is deducted from any wine purchased, and I can understand why wineries have adopted this approach. Nevertheless, I personally prefer the more traditional style of wine tasting.
That said, this winery was one of the best we visited in Margaret River. The staff were knowledgeable, welcoming, and happy to discuss the wines in detail. The tasting experience was enjoyable, and the wines themselves were excellent.
My reservations about the commercialisation of wine tasting aside, this is a winery I would happily recommend and would visit again.
翻译:我们最近在澳大利亚度过了三周的假期,其中一个令我们失望的地方是,许多旅游体验越来越商业化。无论是付费与袋熊或考拉合影,还是高昂的景点门票,亦或是参加海豚喂食活动的费用,都让人感觉一切都要花钱。
玛格丽特河的葡萄酒品鉴也不例外。曾经免费的品酒体验如今已被付费品鉴所取代,游客需要付费才能品尝指定数量的葡萄酒。公平地说,品鉴费会从购买的葡萄酒价格中扣除,我也能理解酒庄为何采用这种方式。然而,我个人更喜欢传统的葡萄酒品鉴方式。
话虽如此,这家酒庄却是我们在玛格丽特河参观过的最好的酒庄之一。工作人员知识渊博、热情好客,并且乐于详细讲解葡萄酒。品酒体验令人愉快,葡萄酒本身也品质卓越。
撇开我对葡萄酒品鉴商业化的保留意见不谈,我乐意推荐这家酒庄,并且还会再次光顾。
