Oh my gosh, I had the best time on this tour! The vineyards we went to were seriously stunning - I couldn't stop taking photos! And the wines we tasted were all so yummy - I learned heaps about the different types and flavours. Honestly, I'd totally recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun day out.

a fun day out

That was such a fun experience! The wine tastings were seriously amazing, and they had such a great variety of wines to try.

so fun!

It was a delightful journey through the region's wine country. I had a chance to sample a variety of delicious wines made it an unforgettable day of indulgence.

delightful journey

the service was perfect! every minute I spent was a blast.

perfect!

This tour is the way to go - skip the tours which take you to a bunch of wineries and instead enjoy a good amount of time at three of the best on this tour. We loved our guide and the weather was top notch for enjoying nice wine in this unbelievable location.
