Incredeable experience. The guide tour was so helpful and the people so funny. The atmosphere was awesome!
enjoyed it so much.. .
was an OK trip. The drive around was nice, but of the 3 wineries we went to only brought wine from one. other two wineries did not really appeal to us. was put off with one who gave us some of the newer wine to try and then said if we wanted to try others were charging
Would highly recommend the tour - we had a great time! It was made even better by the excellent weather, but Julie the host was wonderful, and each of the wineries were very welcoming, informative and fun. We would definitely book again.
Thanks Sara
