Other Comments
We have done this experience before and it DID NOT include a very long walk through waterlogged fields in inappropriate footwear. If you are going to spend more than an hour in boggy fields you need to make this very clear in the paperwork so that people wear the correct footwear. I have thrown my shoes I wore away as they were beyond repair. Sitting with wet feet whilst tasting the wine and eating the lunch ruined the experience.
