“It was a great experience! It is an activity of a married couple, both very sweet people. We first sailed around for an hour, with the host sharing some facts of the areas. You could choose to sunbathe upstairs on the deck. The host also took pictures with his camera, which were sent to you later, which was very nice! During this hour you could also get something to drink like a beer/sangria/soft drinks. When we came back the wine tasting started and this was really fantastic. The dishes matched the wines and it was a taste sensation in your mouth. We really recommend this, it was really great fun…”
