5.003 Wineries. Wine was great at 2 - could be improved at the last stop stops. I'm sure they alternate the wineries though.
FUN DAY!

5.00City Highlights & Waipara wine tour was great. Carmen our guide was really great! The ‘city highlights’ was just that. Most of the day was at the 3 wineries. The hosts were exceptional at George Road Winery, and the wines were good. The second stop was wine and lunch. Again, good wines. The lunch was not my favorite. I try to keep an open mind being from a foreign country, but it my mind it fell flat. By the third stop we were all pretty chatty and having a great time.
