We so enjoyed our tour of the winery. The guide was witty and entertaining, all the while educating us. After the tour we sat for a while and enjoyed a glass of wine along with some crackers, cheese and fruit. More

We had gone on a day-long wine (tasting) tour and were disappointed that we did not get to see more of the actual wine making process. The tour of Chateau Julien was great. We were guided through the estate, tasting along the way. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. A good experience! More
