We had such an amazing day out in wine country with John. We were expecting the fantastic wines of course but the scenery in the region is simply spectacular! All the wineries we visited were able to ship wine home to Australia for us which was so convenient. Lunch was delicious and the cellar door hosts all so lovely. Fun day had by all, will definitely be back

The last winery was my favourite I enjoyed the wines and purchased some.
Understanding the different vineyards and names associated on the bottles was a good takeaway for me and the land area, the difference in temperature and soil.
I didn’t enjoy 3 of the vineyards so I wouldn’t recommend this to my friends the wine tasting was not what I expected. I am not into organic wine personally and the tastes were just not appealing therefore if I am honest about value for money for me personally I feel I didn’t get this. I would of loved to have gone to peregrine and chard farm.
The food was average.
