    Mary Louise, our tour guide was amazing. She was so knowledgeable, accommodating and personable. A great selection of 6 boutique wineyards, giving us a variety of wines and ports. The wineyard hosts were well informed and knew their products. It was great to learn about the history of the wineries. The barbecue lunch with the selection of wines was delicious. The length of the tour was certainly value for money. Highly recommended.
