    A lovely day with lots of wine and great company

    Jessica_M, Apr 2026
    Pick up was at our hotel, which was great. The commentary was lovely, Julie did a wonderful job introducing each winery and telling us a little history about the region.

    The wineries we visited...

    Christopher_B, Apr 2026
    The wineries we visited were great. Lunch location was a beautiful spot with good pizzas. Gin distillery wasnt amazing and felt a bit gimmicky (all the gins were infused eith glitter 🤷) and didnt taste particularly great. Tour guide, Bruce, was a lovely bloke but not particularly engaging.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you, Christopher, for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the wineries and the lunch setting—it’s a beautiful part of the region and we’re glad that came through in your experience. The visit to Small Mouth Vodka is included as a light-hearted break from the wine tastings, offering something a little different and fun along the way. We understand it may not appeal to everyone’s taste, particularly if you’re looking for a more traditional or refined gin experience, and we appreciate your perspective. Bruce truly is a kind and dedicated guide, and he is often praised for his warm nature and unique sense of humour. As you may have noticed, Bruce wears hearing aids, so clear, face-to-face communication can make a meaningful difference in ensuring the best interaction for everyone on tour. We’re very pleased to hear that overall you had a great day with us, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Julie, Bruce and HVT team
