点评:While visiting Spain from the USA, we booked an individual wine tour online, which was quick and easy. We promptly received a confirmation email with all the necessary details, and everything seemed well-organized from the start.
Upon arriving at the winery, we joined a group of about 20 guests. The guide greeted everyone at the gate and immediately began the tour in Spanish. We asked if she spoke any English, and she replied, “very little.” Unfortunately, none of the other guests spoke English either, so we weren’t able to follow the tour commentary or ask questions, which significantly limited our experience.
That said, the property itself is absolutely beautiful. The grounds and gardens are stunning and well-maintained, and we enjoyed simply walking around and soaking in the scenery.
At the end of the tour, we were given a tasting of their premium Albariño, which was lovely and accompanied by cheese and crackers—a nice touch. We were shown two additional vintages of their Albariño but did not get to taste them. Still, we were interested enough to purchase all three bottles.
Unfortunately, when we opened the premium bottle later that evening, we were disappointed to find that it had gone bad. It was a letdown, especially since we had looked forward to enjoying it as a highlight of our trip.
Overall, while the setting was lovely and the wines showed promise, the language barrier and the issue with the wine left us with mixed feelings. If you don’t speak Spanish, it’s worth checking ahead to see if English-language tours are available to ensure a more complete experience.
翻译:我们从美国来西班牙旅游时,在网上预订了个人葡萄酒之旅,快捷方便。我们很快就收到了包含所有必要信息的确认邮件,一切从一开始就安排得井井有条。
抵达酒庄后,我们加入了一个大约20人的团队。导游在门口迎接了大家,并立即用西班牙语开始了导览。我们问她会不会说英语,她回答说“几乎不会”。可惜的是,其他客人也不会说英语,所以我们无法跟上导游的讲解,也无法提问,这极大地影响了我们的体验。
不过,酒庄本身非常漂亮。庭院和花园美不胜收,维护得井井有条,我们很享受漫步其中,欣赏美景。
游览结束时,我们品尝了酒庄的优质阿尔巴利诺葡萄酒,味道鲜美,还配上了奶酪和饼干——非常贴心。酒庄还展示了另外两款年份的阿尔巴利诺葡萄酒,但未能品尝。尽管如此,我们还是足够感兴趣,把三瓶酒都买下来了。
可惜的是,当晚晚些时候,我们打开那瓶高级酒时,却失望地发现它已经变质了。这真是令人失望,尤其是因为我们原本期待着把它作为我们旅程的一大亮点来享用。
总的来说,虽然环境优美,葡萄酒也前景看好,但语言障碍和葡萄酒的问题让我们心情复杂。如果您不会说西班牙语,最好提前查看是否有英语导览,以确保获得更完整的体验。
