Great day out. Bernie was a hoot! The chocolaterie was delightful. The first winery didn't feel as welcoming as the others, but all in all it was a good day. Lunch was lovely! Would recommend this trip to anyone. The nougat purchased at the fruit shop was amazing! Smaller sized bus so a good chance to mix with your group.
Great day out sampling local foods and wines.

Great day out with Mel from Ricks tours. Almost everyone on our tour were foreign tourists, so Mel made a short diversion to find some kangaroos. It was very well received. First stop, The strawberry farm, and it was delicious. Then on to the chocolatiers where it was impossible to eat all the samples, but luckily we could take them with us. Then on to the first winery, where we tried a variety of whites, reds and bubbles. We then went to Rochford estate for another tasting and our delicious lunch. Then on to our last winery where we were all given a bottle of wine. This tour was a good mix of local food and wines at a pace that was neither rushed nor slow. I can highly recommend Ricks tours, you won’t be disappointed.

We had an amazing tour with Melanie and really enjoyed the opportunity to discover remarkable wines and taste delicious local produce while immersed in a storybook setting of lush green rolling hills, Australian native wildlife and grazing farming stocks. We covered a lot of ground yet the pace felt relaxed and unhurried, thank you to our exceptional and knowledgeable guide for such a memorable experience. Our Highlights Farm Fresh Bosc Pears and stunning scenery.
