Probably the best experience of the whole vacation

I have been wine tasting in a lot of great places. This area definitely held its own. Multiple different takes on wines I already knew and a lot of really cool informal education on the area. Kevin was fabulous.

Lovely day with new friends and good wine!

Our flight from the night before was cancelled which made our 10:00 wine tour impossible but the tour operator insured us that all would work out and it did. We ended up meeting the 12:00 tour at Allen Scott vineyard with the other tour members. We had a nice lunch and tasting and moved on to 3 additional wineries and a chocolate shop. Our fellow tasters from Canada and Scotland were lovely people and our tour operator Bill and his wife were also so nice and accommodating. Bills wife (Ginny I think) also gave us parting gifts of shortbread cookies which we have been savoring in moderation. Highly recommend this wine tour!

Great tour

Chris picked us up 5 mins late due to roadworks but we had a text to let us know. The wineries we visited were great and not the ones we would have picked doing it ourselves. It was a great day with lost of tasting. We had lunch at St Claire winery which was really nice.( Not included in the price) I enjoyed most of the wines. We then went to a chocolate factory. Even I liked the tasting. So we had to have some. Dropped back where we started. It was a great day and we would never have done it on our own.

Book it! Worth it!

Bill was an amazing tour guide. Picked us up at our B&B promptly! He took us to a bubbles winery and 4 other wineries on our tour. We had lunch which was fabulous at St. Claire's. Personable and small group tour which we prefer. Loved his selection of wineries
