5.00We had a wonderful day wine tasting! Fabian was a wonderful host and guide throughout the day. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and made our experience so fantastic! The best part of the experience was being able to choose where and when we wanted to taste. No set schedule. We had as much time as we wanted to taste, eat and/or explore. Truly a 5 star experience. Would book this experience again and recommend to others!
Fun, relaxing, tasty, stunning views

5.00We had a great afternoon with T as our driver. T was super friendly and super knowledgeable about wines - giving us plenty of recommendations on the wine hopper tour. Loved that we could choose which wineries to visit and got to visit four in Gibbston Valley. It was a great way to enjoy Gibbston wines and made for a perfect afternoon. Thanks T, for making things so easy for us.
