Fantastic Wine Tour, you should book this. - We had a great experience with Kevin as our guide. Toni was very prompt at answering emailed questions. Our favorite winery was Gibson, a small boutique shop not on the wine tour map. They consistently produce 95+ rated wines, and were the best wines of the day. So good, that we ordered 9 bottles to be shipped home to the US They tailored our tour to our ships arrival and departure times and got us back with no worry at all. From hearing other passengers on different tours, I believe ours was likely the best. Thank you Kevin and Toni! Book this one!

Picton Winery Tour - Pretty drive and you didn't need to be a wine expert to enjoy it. The vegan option at launch was very tasty.

Great day, great wines, great value. - We had a fabulous day - it was more than ever hoped for! Great communication and we were met by smiling faces who wanted to make sure we were happy. Four stops with amazing wines to try and learn about. The final stop for lunch (at own cost) had great food - the locally sourced platter particularly. Great value and memories to take home forever.

Vic was a wonderful tour... - Vic was a wonderful tour guide and we had a great group of people from our cruise. Such a wonderful day. Lunch was delicious and the chocolate sample at the chocolate factory was amazing. We had three wine tastings as well at three other wineries. The wines were ok (mostly white wines) but the day itself was fabulous!

Very bumpy with no cheese - Uncomfortable minibus ride due to us having to sit at the back of the bus and very bumpy roads. We were unable to hear the driver’s commentary as he didn’t have a microphone. Although the tour information states that you will visit 4/5 wineries we only did wine tasting in 3 (as there was no wine tasting at the lunch venue which we felt was overpriced and only offered a 3 course meal with no sandwiches or snacks options. The wine tasting itself would have been far better if we had been offered cheese and crackers to compliment the wine.
