| - I WILL NOT TRAVEL TO GALLUCCI WINERY OR RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE, IF THERE WERE A SPOT TO CLICK FOR ZERO STARS OR NEGATIVE STARS THIS WINERY WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS THAT!!
.....I travelled all the way to this winery with a friend after making reservations on the internet for a wine tour. There were slots on the website to choose the date and time of your preferred tour.
We have not been to this neck of the woods before and so we were one hour early for our 2pm scheduled tour. We then decided to drive around the neighbourhood and grab a snack then headed back.
As we walked in to this empty winery that had opened in 2014, we had to wait awhile for someone to show up at the reception area, then finally, we check-in. To our surprise, the one staff said there was no tour for us because it was full, when we questioned how it could be full when we were the only ones in the building? He then changed his mind and told us the truth that due to lack of public interest there was only two of us therefore no tour and that we were notified by emailed already. (We had not receive any emails). Our blackberries were glue to our hips, we would know!...now because he had already lied about a full tour, there was no reason to believe they even bothered to notify us. At this point he said we can come back at 4pm and they will tour us.
There was no apology, no offer of samples to try their product so that even without the tour, I may still purchase their wines but instead he went off to serve some couple that was eating in the patio, I guess they were paying customers and we were only potential customers. What a waste of our time!!
We ended up driving to another winery nearby that had good reviews called Willow Springs Winery. Their staff greeted us as we walked through their doors, very knowledgeable and had free samples on ice wine and wine. I ended up spending over $300 there. Tough luck to this Gallucci Winery who didn't care for our business.
