"My husband and I had such an amazing time visiting Morlet Vineyards. They are unlike any other winery I’ve been to in the valley! First of all their wines are amazing!!! Their attention to quality in their wine making is evident in the taste! Claire was an amazing host, It was so fun and informative going around the vineyard on the ATV and hearing all about their families history and how innovative Luc is! You can tell how passionate their family is about their business how quality is of the upmost importance to them …. it shows in their wine. The entire experience was so elegant and we felt so special there. Thank you Morlet Family for the amazing experience. We will be back!"
