We had Niko (Nicholas) as our sommelier and he was fantastic. He had a great sense of humour and explained everything really well. We tasted three wines – prosecco, white and red – and they were all really good, we had about two glasses of each. He also asked for any dietary requirements for the snacks throughout the wine tasting. My girlfriend is vegetarian so they catered to her needs too. We got given three snacks and they were all really nice! Would definitely recommend this experience, we walked in as wine amateurs but walked out knowing a lot more! 10/10, excellent!
