Our guide Kristy was lovely. The places we went were absolutely incredible, a great balance of learning about new wines, and just relaxing.

It was a great afternoon Graeme the driver was polite and knowledgeable about the area. The distillery was a really good option to compliment the two wineries we visited

Despite original tour being cancelled, late notification, Viator customer services booking us onto a replacement tour that was cheaper, no refund offered and replacement tour also not running. IHOP obliged by picking us up on a tour that was operating. Great communication fron IHOP. Tim our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Winery / distillery staff also. Purchases made. Great half day fun. Shame about the weather.
A fun and delicious afternoon!

We three old gals on a birthday celebration were treated to a fabulous afternoon with visits and tastings to three boutique premises: a distillery, a winery (with a huge antipasto platter laid on) and another winery with an intriguing wine/chocolate matching for us. A wonderful driver/guide looked after us and we felt this tour was great value and a delightful way to spend an afternoon. Though purchases aren't necessary I couldn't resist buying something from all three premises. Highly recommended!!
