    Lovely air conditioned mini bus, collected from motel on time by Mike who put us instantly at ease. Just us and 1 other couple. Visited 5 vineyards, all very nice and lovely wines and informative. Mike very knowledgeable. Fab lunch. Mike waited patiently for us and returned us as suited us. All in all a lovely fun day and very educational. We felt we more than got our money's worth and would recommend.

    This was a well worthwhile wine tour. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour so Mike our driver was very open to what wineries we wanted to go to. He was well informed of the wineries In the area and well informed of wine in general. Well worth the trip.
