What do our guests say?
It is not like usual museum but more like a storytelling and you could see, taste, smell and participate. You could use the old mill people used to make corn flour, fix a fish net, use the tool which they use the make wine and so on! … definitely an experience that you could not miss.
From cooking to winemaking to fishing, it's truly a unique history … my wife and I got to enjoy a private lunch … local food, some wine, and dessert. It was amazing … Jacob and his family were extremely friendly, informative, and fun throughout all parts of the experience.
