Vinopolis

We had two L25 tickets. For that we received 5 very small samples of very ordinary wine (perhaps two small glasses in total) and a small tasting cocktail of Bombay Sapphire Gin. I see the ticket prices have now been reduced but even so, they still don't seem like good value for money!

I went with a couple of friends and we had a really good time. We are no experts in wine but we found the tasting "lesson" helpful and informative. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would recommend it.

I bought 'The spirit of Vinopolis' tour for my husband and I as a present. It cost L60 for the 2 of us. You start with a 20 min talk on how to taste and appreciate wine. You then walk around and read information (not much). You will get to try 5 different wines but unfortunately not all the staff know much about them so you need to read the label decide if you want to try it. You get a very very small taster of each. The wine part good be done better and I would advise the audio tour although surpise suprise this costs extra, we didn't do this but I wish I had. I did get to try wines that I would never have had otherwise, Thai, Chillie, African etc. You then get a Bombay Sapphire cocktail which is nice if you like Gin. We then had 2 beer, 2 whisky, 2 rum & 2 absinthe tastings. The sprits are proper measures. If you are a smoker you can pop outside at any point after the talk and come back in.

I have been on better tasting tours in other countries but this one was not bad at all and well worth a visit. I would suggest going for fun rather than to learn so you won't be disappointed.
