On April 27, 2019 I was part of a bus tour and Bonobo was the last winery we visited. We were all VERY disappointed at our last stop. Our group was seated together in a tasting room which we thought was very nice. We were told what we would be tasting that afternoon. EVERY vine pre-selected was dry, no variety. We did not care for any of the wines and left without making any purchases.

This was the most expensive tasting- $10, the others were $5. The other places we stopped we got to choose what we wanted to taste. We waited in line at the other stops and had a great time!

We were excited to learn about the restaurant on site from the bus driver and we changed our plans to eat after the tasting, we had lots of time to buy a glass of vine and eat, It is a beautiful place, but after the tasting none of us were inclined to pay more to taste more vines that we may not like. We decided to leave and go eat somewhere else in TC.

There were 15 ladies in our group- at the other 2 stops we had we bought at least 20 bottles of vine at each stop, we all planned on buying wine at Bonobo also, but didn't.

I hope this review changes how tastings are done for groups, most of our group wants to return to TC to do another tour, but none of us want to return to your winery.
