Sam our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the 2 wineries we visited, Nautilus and Hunter. Would have been nice to have the option of upgrading the wine tasting. The boat cruise was awesome but we picked up additional passengers for the boat only, which made it crowded on the boat. The boat captain was very knowledgeable about the area we cruised and the crew very friendly and helpful. The mussels and salmon we ate was very tasty and there was alot for the passengers.
