“Our host, Marc, arranged a great tour – on e-bike – through the Swiss scenery. Visiting several wine makers. Marc is a great host and very knowledgeable on wines. We felt very welcome on each of the locations that we visited. Great wines to taste, food and wonderful views while cycling through the mountains. Great experience, highly recommended!”
