We didn't realize there were stairs. That was the only drawback. It would be lovely for younger people. We did use the pharmacy and small grocery nearby

The hotel is okay at best. Staff was extremely rude and not helpful. Room was not clean, especially toilets and bathroom. Does not really fits the 4* claim.

This museum is for wine geeks and well worth spending about 3 hours. The casual wine lover can watch the intro movie, breeze through the exhibits and enjoy a glass of wine on the 8th floor in about an hour.
