Wine was great, though we're quite sure we probably paid the foreign tourist premium for the wine tasting experience. We honestly don't mind because we're happy to support local business, as long as price is comparable with other parts of world (the price we were quoted was similar to Australia/New Zealand pricing), so we found it still reasonable
One thing that left sour taste in our mouth was just the behavior of the plump lady staff. Judging by the different reviews here seemed like her attitude is definitely a recurring theme
We were quoted a price for 15 wines tasting plus cheese board by a gentleman and we agreed to it (the shop has no price list). We sat down and were enjoying the experience served by another gentleman until the time for the 10th pour when suddenly a lady who never interacted or served us so far stepped in to pour us a port cherry wine and said "This will be your last wine" as if we're drunkards who were being cut off from the bar. It was quite abrupt, rude, as well as confusing as we were promised to taste 15 different wines instead of 10. Pour size was actually similar to what other reviews mentioned - - around two sips. Actually perfect if we were to get 15
When we asked about the fact that we're still 5 pours short, the three of them started arguing when the gentleman who welcomed us clarified that he did promise us 15. With the fact that we now have the strongest port cherry wine poured already by the lady who didn't seem to bother to coordinate with her colleagues meant that if we're continuing to take on the other 5, the taste will surely be ruined
We then asked for a discount from the original quote given the fact that we're only receiving 2/3 of what was promised, and the gentleman obliged. We actually still ended up buying 2 full bottles after the wine tasting because some of the wines were that good and the gentleman who served us also was informative about the wines. It's just the lady's behavior that was off-putting
