“I'll start 1st with, the winery we met at was super yummy. It was fun and interactive and we had a good group of ladies. Then the tour started. It was fun, cute ghost stories and the locations where these ghosts can be found was fun. Our guide was such a sweet girl. The down side, i was thinking there would be more. For the amout we paid, i kind of expected another wine tasting, as 1 tasting and a 20min ghost tour for this amount, is not worth it to me. Side note: They did say, the night tours are more fun, so try the instead of the day…”
