A good day
Fun day and a good way to see a bunch of vineyards, drivers were good and friendly and once underway everything went smoothly, the back office organisation does appear a little shambolic and communication was poor.

Do it!
A great way to see lots of different wineries, and things to do, without having to worry about driving. A great amount of time at each place, and stay for a bit longer if you want. Did the full day, and that was perfect for us. Drivers were very cool, and explained how things worked, which was pretty eacy. Pretty cruisy day, lots of nice wineries, and a lovely day in all.
