“It was very nice. Starting with the Donkey brewery was perfect. Gave us all a chance to have fun in a great setting before the serious sitting down at a winery. They had the best bathroom too. Also had excellent merchandise. The 3 wineries were legit. All so different from each other. Highly recommend to do on the island in a group. My husband and I aren’t really into wine (he is into beer) but we really enjoyed it. The snacks at each one were paired well and made it even more of an experience.”
