As a thirtieth birthday present for my girlfriend i decided to book this experience as well as the catamaran with saxophonist on another night, from the minute i expressed interest Melanie guided me through all the options and suggested what she though was most suited to the occasion and she couldn’t have chosen better. After requesting that it could all be kept secret in advance we were picked up from the hotel and transported to the most amazing and beautiful site in the hills overlooking the sea. Melanie introduced us to the vineyard owner and translated anything complex as we went along, the tour of the winery was incredible and all our questions (loads!) were answered and processes explained. Upon finishing the tour my girlfriend was presented with a map indicating where we were to find our picnic setup within the vineyard and it was out of this world! We were left to enjoy the wine and food (some homemade) prepared for us in the most incredible candlelit setting amongst the grape vines whilst enjoying amazing views, sunset and eventually moonlight! Once ready we were able to decide when we left by messaging Melanie (of course after buying a bottle to take away) We literally could not have asked for more and would strongly recommend this to any couples looking for a memorable experience. Since coming home i have even received recipes i discussed from Melanie for traditional Spanish dishes which we intend on making and reliving the memory at home. The only issue was i now eventually have to come up with something as good to propose! Thank you Melanie for the amazing memories and we will maybe see you again in the future!

We gave the tour of wineriy with the picnic to our friend’s birthday – we were a group o 12 people. It was absolutely great experience – i thought it was the best choice we could make. The place is simply beautiful, the story behind the wineyard and actual wine making was very entertaining but also informative. After the tour were brought to a very special place in the wineyards where the picnic table was prepared for us with the selection of local products. Spending the evening in the middle of the nature, with incredible views which allowed us to see the sea and the ships passing by, incredible atmosphere – really nothing else to wish for. Melanie was great at organising everything. Very recommendable. Excellent gift idea too!
