This is worth a visit and you can spend several hours seeing all the glass works and even make your own piece. After our visit we decided to head to a winery for some tastings.There are lots of wineries in the area and we visited one called Bully Hill.
We tasted 5 different wines and bought 6 different bottles of their wine. They have a beautiful setting overlooking the hills and lake.They also have other things you can purchase. Our wine steward was funny and informative and presented a Bully thong you can purchase.We had a great day and headed home after all the good wine.
