4.00A good day out with some different wines to taste. Our driver/guide, Debbie, was a character- very jovial but clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the island. A little rushed at the end.
Sip and see!

5.00Lovely, unique wineries, beautiful views, tasty lunch, informative tour. Rob was a great tour guide; amusing, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and kept us organized! Really nice way to see the island and a few wineries without having to figure out the logistics for yourself. Very easy booking and ferry coordination. Recommend!
Do yourself a favour and book this tour!

5.00The tour was planned perfectly timewise. We exited the ferry, Rob was waiting with the bus and we started the tasting tour of 3 exceptionally beautiful wineries. The lunch was in another beautiful spot and the food was delicious. Rob was engaging and informative. The day could not have been better!
Super fun experience!...

5.00I was a wonderful day! The island is beautiful and the wine was great! I would suggest not filling the bus so full because in the last big bench in the back has no A/C and no speaker to hear the guide while driving
