The day was an absolute awesome day with the other 4 people we had on the tour with us, but the driver Tom, I would never recommend again, he wasn’’t very sociable, drive like a lunatic reaching speeds of 104 km/h in 80 km/h zones and was very pushy with what we had to do. In fact if I knew I was going to have him as a driver again, I would consider cancelling the trip.

The wineries and lunch chosen were terrific. I believe that the bus driver should interact with us while travelling to each place and give us some info about each destination. I also think he should dress more appropriate with a shirt with company logo.

The first winery gave great behind the scenes information and tour. It was perfect to do that first so you can go on to enjoy the wine relaxing and getting to know the group. It flowed really well and was a lot of fun. Cheeks was a great guide through the day
