One of my favorite days of the trip! Tour guide was friendly and helpful and loved the intimacy of the small group wine tastings

Wine tour itself was great, driver was personable and knowledgeable. The reason for the 3 star review is that I have since found that the two bottles of wine I purchased at Carrick winery had heavily inflated prices, in comparison to the menu which was initially shown (I now believe accidentally as it was swiftly taken away) and on the winery website. This now feels as though there is collaboration between the tour company and the wineries and is just a tour through wineries to flog over-priced wines to their clientele. Not happy.
Lovely tour!

We visited four cellar doors with a Mother’s Day lunch at Carrick Winery. Beautiful fall views along the way. We had a very personal tour with lots of history along the way.
