The host was different and I was a bit irritated by the amount of her narrative/talking but otherwise we had fun. The little box of snacks was okay. On precious sails, I recall getting a glass tray where you can hook your wine glass and they'll give you cheese on there to enjoy. I preferred back in the days and am hoping this was just a slight glitch bc I'm still coming back! One of my best memories there.

What a amazing experience. My wife and I went to Portland to visit Maine (we fell in love with it…read morea few years ago and wanted to check out Portland). She searched for things to do and found this tour and I am sure glad she did. We did the biking tour with Don and it was wonderful. Was able to taste some local mead, beer, and rum and see parts of Portland. He was extremely friendly, fun, and informative. I am not going to lie...I was a little bummed when my wife said she booked this tour instead of the earlier biking brewery tour (visit 3 local brewery's as opposed to our scheduled mead, beer, and rum tour). But it didn't matter, it was a amazing experience. In fact, our guide pointed out man local establishments on the tour that we tried the next day (cough..cough..Forage Market) and was amazed; it truly added to our Portland experience. And we have a tour for the next time we come. All in all...6 out of 5 stars for this organization. I wish I was able to post some pictures, but to be honest, I didn't think about it as I was immersed in the moment and enjoying every second of it. So when in Portland...book your tour, you won't be sorry.

Planning my trip to Italy I knew for sure I wanted to do a wine tour. Searched and searched…read moreonline... These tours can be very expensive and generic. I wanted something more personal, and affordable. Finally found 'Discover Tuscany'. Christina immediately started helping me with this. She works with Guido (our tour guide). Everything was arranged for him to pick us up at our hotel, and have the whole day planned for us. Christina helped us with our train schedule (we visited 3 cities), and also booked our hotel in Florence. This part of our trip was Absolutely perfect thanks to her. She worked hard and accommodated to our schedule and requests patiently and successfully. We arrived at Residenza Johlea (hotel Christina recommended and booked) and it was one of my favorite hotels in the 2 weeks I was in Europe. For our wine tour, Guido was right on time, very friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable. He asked what exactly I was expecting from the tour, and with my input, even though he had the day planned, he changed it seeing that other things might be more to my liking after talking to me personally. He made a couple of calls and took us to 2 Brunello wineries. Must say, this is now one of my favorite wines. Not only was the wine amazing but the people too. We got a tour of Costanti where we tasted 4 of their Brunello wines and got a tour of their winery, while learning about the region, the wine, and it's process. Next, we went to a small, family owned winery, winner of last year's best wine in a blind tasting and found only over there.. This was a really nice experience, we met the owner and wine maker Valter Nanetti, very nice man. Met his wife and grand kids, plus we were able to handpick fruits from their garden - delicious! After this, and extra to the tour I had envisioned, we had a cheese tasting. Fresh, smelly, so good. Lunch came next, and a little tour of the city. Before I left, I really wanted to see sunflowers. They weren't in season yet but Guido drove and drove until he found them for me. This was not part of the tour but, I know Christina had told him this was one of my "must do" in Italy, and with me telling him too, he just went for it. I can't say how much I appreciated this and his great attitude throughout the whole tour. When I get another opportunity to travel like this, I'm contacting Christina again to help me plan it. She's a great person to keep in mind, she's a travel agent with great hotel contacts and tours. If in Italy, ask her about Guido, he offers tours all over the country, not just wine. Believe me, you'll have a great vacation and learn at the same time.

We arrived in Rome only to find our luggage did not. Despite the extra time we needed to file a claim for our bags, our driver Roberto waited patiently for 2 hours until we were ready. He was fantastic. The next day is when we met Guido and our trip instantly got better. He toured us around Florence, stopping by local shops for wine, snacks and espresso. He made us feel welcome, made us laugh, and most importantly, made us forget that we didn't have any clothes. We were with Guido for 3 days in Florence where he took us to 3 amazing vineyards, helped us plan our meals, and on the final day he took us to the airport to reclaim our belongings. I cannot overstate what a great pleasure it was to spend time with him. Christina helped us with the next part of our trip by arranging transfers from Naples to Positano, scheduling a top-notch cooking class, and planning a boat tour of the coast. This is a first-class operation that we will surely be using again for future trips to Europe. Thank you Christina, Guido, Roberto and Giovanni for making our trip to Italy an unforgettable experience.

And to time to answer questions about the sights. They have opportunities for people or kids to help out with the ropes and pull the sails. It's two hours so plan ahead especially if you are thinking g about bringing kids. Remember you are close with 25 others not related to you. There is a toilet but believe deck so you have to navigate a ladder. Ordering tickets online was easy and they send you notifications via text and email.

It's very much off the beaten path but an absolute worthy spot of taking a detour for! The dirt roads were very well maintained though I must say. Once you arrive they have a giant parking lot and then once inside you step into a beautifully designed rustic space. If the weather is nice they have some absolutely stunning views you can take in outside while enjoying your beverage. During our visit, I will say a large portion of the space was in use for a party/event. Despite this the staff were very warm and welcoming to our party and even tried to create a private lounge like space for us. I very much appreciated the effort they put to make us feel welcome. I wish the weather would have been a little nicer to enjoy outside! I got their vanilla hard cider while my wife got their blueberry hard cider. Both were phenomenal. They also offer flights for only $10 and even have suggestions for some mixing of ciders including a fan favorite mix of blueberry and maple to create a blueberry pancake. I have had this blend previously and it is amazing! A spot worth adding to your list to visit for the breath-taking views and delicious drinks!

Upon arriving I was torn between that and the filet, asparagus and roasted potatoes. In the end I decided to bite the bullet and spend $56 on that since it sounded delicious. Boy what a mistake.

I asked for some bleu cheese dressing but all they had were crumbles. I asked for a soda to wash it down. The water was warm. I never got the soda and proceeded to eat the meal because I paid almost $60 for it! My daughter's girl dinner was cute with a tiny salad, Alfredo, a cosmo and tomato mozarella in small martini glasses. She ate it all and was still hungry.
