Notas honestas
Las bodegas están sujetas a cambios según la disponibilidad y la programación. Aunque el autobús es cómodo, algunos huéspedes notan que las ventanas tintadas pueden ocultar ocasionalmente el paisaje durante el tránsito. Además, prepárese para tiempos de espera variables en los lugares populares y asegúrese de usar capas, ya que muchas catas ocurren al aire libre en el hermoso clima de Michigan.
