Take the boutique tour on this one. A tad more expensive but the small group of 10 makes for a casual and uncomplicated day. Visited 3 wineries, one cheese and chocolate establishment and had an excellent lunch at a local country club- all included. Plenty of bathroom stops and a very accommodating driver, John . Each winery discussed wine making and gave 5 sample tastings of their popular wines. There was no shortage of samples. A full day from Sydney and worth the time and money

Enjoyable day however the driver was not very engaging or friendly . Went to 3 vineyards. Very enjoyable wines and great hosts at each all made you feel very welcome and the wine tastings were all generous. Lunch very average at the golf course and certainly not fresh or delicious, nothing highlighting any Australian delights and when asked, didn’t even know where the wine that came with the meal came from. Cheese tasting was just rushed cheeses on a toothpick while standing in a crowded space with very little information on the cheese making process. Choc stop very similar experience, tasting only of 5 tiny bits of chocolate, nothing about the making or process of the chocolate. Nice group of people made the day enjoyable along with the fantastic wines. Have to say that the wineries made the tour great, not the tour company.

Great day trip. Ben was lovely and knowledgeable. The entire trip went smoothly. The wineries we went to gave us a nice cross sectional experience. Cheese factory and chocolate shop were winners. Fun family experience with great memories made.
