We had a great day, it took a few stops before we worked out how the bus timetable works. We had booked the tour late and had not pre-booked stops so we had to accept whatever was available on the day. This still worked well as Hop on Hop off managed to book the one cellar we had wanted to visit.

Overall good but it was confusing re pickup times and how they did the drop off run. Once we worked it out it was good. A couple of the stops the places hadn’t even opened when we were being dropped off we had to wait for them to open. Our driver wasn’t as enthusiastic as I would have liked but by the end of the day it didn’t matter as we had had a great time at a few of the wineries. Make sure you book a head if you want to have lunch or do tastings as most places you had to book into. We weren’t aware of that at the start.

The way the tour ran was different to any other HOHO experience we have had. Our plan had been to do the 2 hour loop without getting off and, if something really appealed, to go back to that or those spots. We were told rathe brusquely by the lady in the office that we weren't allowed to stay on all the way around and had to get off at least five times, then wait for the bus driver to back track and pick up people from any of the previous five or six stops. This ended up being an almost 8 hour trip. Our driver Erin was lovely and the scenery magnificent, so although a much longer day than anticipated, it was enjoyable.
