“Il costo dell'esperienza è circa 80dollari di cui circa 30 riguardano la sola degustazione in una cantina e visita più degustazione nella seconda azienda. Entrambe le cantine producono vini di qualità ma... Mi sembra assurdo che non venga fatta la visita nella prima azienda (costerebbe altri 5 dollari) e i tempi sono davvero stretti. Nella proposta si parla del pranzo in azienda, ma non viene lasciato il tempo per farlo! Alle 3pm si è di nuovo a Santiago con lo stomaco vuoto! Non è ben organizzata la visita, il costo è enorme! 50dollari di trasporto per percorrere 60km da Santiago alla valle di Casablanca sono eccessivi! Spendendo 15dollari in più…”
