   I love this game even before I got it. The mechanics make you fell you are making real wine. And the solo mode is a blast! I truly recommend this game even to the new gamers.

   Game itself is incredibly fun. Works as a great entry level worker placement game (can’t decide if this or Lords of Waterdeep is better). The game does a very good job going along with the theme of owning a vineyard and making/selling wine. It might seem kind of straightfoward at fits compared to a worker placement like Agricola, but the visitor cards and the mamma papa cards really do affect your overall strategy a lot. Single player is fun as well, and it is easy to adjust the difficulty for yourself. The reason this is only a three star review is because my game came with some errors. I am missing a purple meeple, and instead have two purple trellis. Looking through the reviews it seems i’m not the only one with a defective game. Game itself is amazing but the company may need to work on their quality control.

   This game is beautiful! From the artwork to the many structural pieces to the theme and design. Stonemaier games used a lot of thought and care in designing one of the most unique games I have played. You are running a vineyard in Tuscany and have workers who help you on your farm from Spring through summer, the fall harvest and into winter. From selecting your turn order by a placement of a rooster to deciding if it’s more important to plant grapes or build structures for your farm in the summer, to helpful visitors in summer and winter who offer choices to help further you farm.. and of course harvesting grapes using clear beads that magnify the grape age, and then processing those grapes into red, white or blush wine or sparkling wine and filling orders for your vineyard. I don’t think the designers left one thing to chance and everything was thought out and the components are superb and high quality right down to the upside down St.Louis Arch as the”V” for viticulture and on the coins.. I grew in St.Louis and recognized the subtle symbol of Stonemaier’s home town location immediately. This is an amazing game, but it takes time to learn, with excellent descriptive instructions, it can be done- my 11 yr old just beat my husband and I handily and it was his 3rd time playing. I love the artwork, such time and thought went into every aspect of this game. Our first run we played it with a glass of wine and Italian music in the background, someday I’ll get to Tuscany, but for now I have Viticulture!

   Fantastic Rulebook. Terms explained on back cover.These points are often overlooked but very important.
   Also: Art work beautiful. Solid game, scales well w/player count. You need to plan ahead and it really is a decent game, the best in years. This edition is the best, and it is finally a worker placement game that I actually like. I played the tuscany + essential and did not like that very much. It feels “finished”, instead of others that feel incomplete and are shouting for expansions.
   Compared to other wine board games it is simpler than Vinhos and less cruel than grand cru. It actually teaches how wine is produced.
   For kids however it is not very spectacular, would play it with intelligent adults, that may or may not like wine.
   Oh and did I mention you can play it solo against the AI of the game?
