4.00Great experience, but if not staying in the city it is a long day with an early start. The wineries visited were all good, but the stand out was Mount Pleasant. Lunch was a nice addition at Adina. All in all, great value for money.
A great experience for wine and gin lovers

5.00Can't quite believe how much we managed to fit in - 4 different venues, wine tasting, then pizza / salad lunch, gin tasting, wine tasting with cheese and to wrap it up, wine tasting with chocolate. Brilliant. Our driver Jo took really good care of us - couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend.
