Lovely way to see the wineries using a guide and being able to sample wine without the worry of driving- worked very well and super convenient- picked up from near our accommodation and dropped back
Very enjoyable, a good system.
This is a great way to attend tastings at a number of great wineries in one day. Warren will provide recommendations if you ask and he runs a punctual service and is where the timetable says he will be at all times which means you can plan a full days worth of visits.
