"We had the best time wine tasting with Kiana this past week. She guided us through all the different wines and provided very interesting info about Sanford, the area, the different types of wines, etc. She made our wine tasting experience so fun and informative! The wines were delicious, we loved them all and appreciated the variety. The property is also beautiful and fun to spend time at. It was our first time visiting this winery and we’ll definitely be back soon!"
