5.00Wow, what a great day! The tour exceeded our expectations- it was a relaxed day visiting 4 wineries plus a chocolate factory, with a group of lovely people. Our guide, Pozzie, gave us lots of interesting and useful information, kept us all on time and shared some great music 😊. We tasted a good variety of wines, ate a delicious lunch and saw some beautiful scenery. Definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Melbourne.
