A lovely relaxed informal group experience. 9 of us from various parts of the world escorted by Andy, our super tour guide who had a lot of local knowledge. Stopped at 3 wineries, all carefully chosen, friendly and informative, most importantly… lovely wines…. Would recommend this tour for couples and single travellers

Our driver Chris was a very informative driver and gave great commentary throughout the afternoon. We went to 3 wineries and enjoyed hearing the background and obviously tasting the wine ! Chris also gave us top tips for our stay in Picton, where to eat and drink and where was best value.

Great afternoon. Brett was really helpful, helping us with bags off the ferry and he kept us entertained with his stories throughout the afternoon. We visited spy valley, Forrest and Whitehaven wineries and a chocolate shop.

Nice private tour for a small group of people. Driver knew his stuff about the wineries and the local area. Each winery was very different as were the staff at each. Very enjoyable day :-)

Marcela moved quickly and got us to three vineyards and a chocolate boutique in our short afternoon adventure.The shuttle was full of strangers at the beginning and friends by the end. The wine education was tasty and fun with engaging hosts at every stop.
