Beste, Was een leuke en aan te raden wijnroute om bij max 5 wijnboerderijen te gaan wijnproeven. Wel opgelet ; best vooraf vragen bij elke wijnboerderij hoeveel het kost ; 1e proeverij Lanzerac liet me 340 AR betalen voor 1 glas witte en 1 glas rode wijn. Achteraf bleek dat ze me hun beste wijn hadden laten proeven, zonder dit te zeggen. - Luk
