i booked the airbnb from the airbnb website, it is located in a farm, so when we drive the car to the farm, on the way we missed the road and then we called the owner, actually becuase it is in the country road the GPS could not show us the correct road, and then the owner to asked us where we are and then we described the location. eg we have see the pasture, the farm, the trees, and then the owner drove the car to pick us up, so I think it is a nice experience for me. When we arrived the farm, the owner showed us to the building and talk about some knowledge about the wine and also how to plant the grape because they have the grape area and then we could do some practice to make the wine. After that we have the dinner with the owner’s family together and then they cooked some typical italian food for us.
