Fantastic Experience Celebrating Retirement with Amazing Lunch and Delicious Wine/Gin

5.00My experience with customizing my retirement celebration was fantastic with great communication and an outstanding driver. Posi was an excellent host choice for our 16-person group of my work peers - he was on-time, cheerful, generous with information and offered an excellent selection of local Melbourne musicians on his playlist. He even put extra effort to tie in his repertoire to our professions. The 3-Course lunch served at SteelsGate Wines was fantastically presented and absolutely delicious. We were so impressed with the food, dessert, and wine choices. Stag Lane Distillery opened my eyes to the world of gin with this friendly family-owned business. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're lucky to have Posi as your driver.

5.00Tour was everything expected and more. Opted for 3 Wineries & they were each interesting yet different. Then for the forth tasting choose was beer. Beer tour was in a small fun filled vibe microbrewery. Great tour guide & driver :Sean/ he had great stories to tell and made the journey fun with facts and anecdotes. A great tour that I highly recommend.
