“Great tour with Max. Very friendly, very knowledgeable. There were many good to excellent wines at the locations where we tasted at. We had about one and a half hours for lunch that he had set up at a nice restaurant. We finished at his wine cave/shop where we tasted more wines and could also purchase anything we tasted earlier that day, versus buying it at the wineries themselves. That was convenient, you don't have to lug around wine bottles all day. He can also ship the wines to you. Very accommodating.”
