“I could finally find Blake DeSimone at Cavas! He told me what we want to listen: the only bad part of the trip is that they have to leave and come back home! They really liked every place they stayed at, and did a special comment about how nice their hosts at El Rocio were.
The soccer game was very exciting and they felt very safe all the time. Cavas is just amazing and they are enjoying the tastings, and really liked the biking tour, although they didn't do any tastings that day.
Overall, it seems they had a great time, so I hope you receive a wonderful feedback from them!”
