What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bodega Saldungaray offers a charming visit with knowledgeable guides and a beautiful setting, though some find the wine tasting limited in scope and the staff in the sales area less welcoming. The cost is considered high by some for the brief experience, but others praise the quality of the wines and the passion of the sommelier.
"The winery is beautiful, and the woman who leads the tour is very knowledgeable and friendly. However, they only give you two wines to taste, nothing else. The tour lasts 15-20 minutes. They don't offer any other tastings, such as cheeses or toasts to accompany the wine. The wine itself is too young, and therefore, for someone who really likes wine like me, I found it undrinkable. The white wine is good, the red wine really isn't. It's nice to go for a tour. The woman who helps you in the sales area is very unfriendly and unfriendly. That's a shame, because she's the one who welcomes you and makes you want to leave. It costs $4,000 per person, which is very expensive for what it is. If they gave you more tastings or better service, it might be worth it."

"I was amazed by the quality of these wines. A beautiful winery located near the center of Sierra de la Ventana.
Sommelier Silvana is a total idol. Passionate and with tons of experience. Wines, stories, data, local cheeses, and chocolate. A 10-point tasting."
Mrs Solbes
