Changed this year it's now 5euro was six but no free bottle of wine....You can get your plastic bottles filled so if you have any old ones from past visits in your cupboards give them a rinse and bring them along....Still great value if you do a lot of free testing like Niel and I do xxx Put me down but don't need the bus and probably won't be the first visit of the year ...
Not quite accurate, allapaul.
Entrance costs €5 per person. The entry ticket itself entitles you to 20% off any 1 bottle of wine from any of the Sodap, Etko, Keo or Loel stands.
If you don't buy a plastic carafe, you won't have the receipt that entitles you to have it filled with the wine of your choice from the non-branded stands.
You can take your glasses from previous years (if you have any, that is) and use them for tasting, both at the non-branded stands and at the branded stands. Alternatively, you can buy either tumblers or wine glasses to use there and to take home as a souvenir.
If I recall correctly (I've slept since we went this year
), we paid €2.50 per glass and another €2.50 per carafe.
Not each of the non-branded stands had all 4 wines available, so check them all out if you can't find what you like. If you find the dry red too dry, and the Kokkinelli too sweet, why not try mixing them?
We enjoyed the wines at the Koilani Winery stand, and I thought the chicken souvla was tasty, succulent and particularly good value at only €8.
