I'm excited to introduce two new venues to this year's wine tour. Our first stop will be at Vinos LT, where we will get to taste the owner Juan Carlos' award winning paella, as well as drink an assortment of his wines and some local beer from Wendtland and Agua Mala. After spending time at his beautiful winery, we will head off to Corona del Valle, a repeat from last year, but a crowd favorite. If you remember we were supposed to have a vineyard tour there last year but it was cancelled due to staffing issues. This year it's on! We will be treated to a four wine tasting and ride through the vineyards. I can't wait! Our third stop will be a re-visit to Cava Maciel, where owner and wine maker Jorge Maciel will lead us through another four wine tasting of his latest vintages, paired with house-made ceviche and charcuterie boards. I believe his wine is some of the best in the Valle and it will not disappoint. Finally, we will head over to Tre Galline, a wonderful little Italian restaurant in the heart of the Valle. They have prepared a lovely menu for us and we will get to try wines from some of the other wineries in the Valle with our meal. Finally, we will hit the bus and head back to the border and the park-n-ride.
Everything on this trip is included in your ticket price: the bus ride, mimosas and pastries on the way to the Valle, all wine, beer, and food at our stops, snacks on the bus between stops, and tons of fun!!
