5.00Great experience at Craggy Range and Smith and Sheth. The hostess at Smith and Sheth was particularly good with background on the winery, the founder and the wines. The views at Craggy Range were wonderful. Our tour had to be customized due to a late cruise port arrival, but all was handled well. Jeremy was a great tour guide.
