STAFF TRAINING
At the end of May Karen came to Ganora to give our staff: Max, Maria, Sara and Derek some training. We were joined by Heidi & Chris from "Nina's @The Post Office" and some others from Nieu-Bethesda. Over the two days we all learned a lot and enjoyed the tastings even more!! We all had great fun and with Karen's expert advice & tips we will strive to give our guests only the best!
