Shame we weren’t told that the tour no longer visits Maggie Beers until after our first stop. Our driver said the contract ran out a month ago, so would have been nice to know that in advance so that we could possibly make other arrangements. Instead, we were dropped off at a little collection of companies and given only 45 minutes to explore all 5 of them, all of which were at our own extra expense. Also, the chocolate tasting stop was a little disappointing - the wines were all quite average and the chocolates were just simple white/milk/dark squares. I was expecting something really interesting and exciting about the specific pairings of certain chocolates with certain wines. Our driver for the day was informative and amusing although he seemed to have a lot to complain about. The first stop at Pindarie Estate was great, the food at lunch was delicious, and the day was overall enjoyable, but definitely was expecting a little more.
