We had the pleasure in participating in a half day wine tour organized by Jade Tours.
Mike who was our very knowledgeable tourguide, made the whole experience quite interesting.
If you want acquire in depth knowledge about the wine, vineyards, region, history etc, and at the same time taste excellent wines and food...go for it!
A big thank you also to Sue, who brought us to the chocolatier on the way home, which normally is not part of the half day tour.

Una experiencia totalmente recomendable, desde la simpatía de Sue al recogernos en Picton y llevarnos hasta el inicio, como el conocimiento y la actitud de Mike, que son los dos, unos estupendos anfitriones, y hacen que la experiencia sea muy agradable. Además no es masificada, sino un pequeño grupo con lo que hace que todo sea aun mas entrañable.
Además el tiempo acompaño, un 10.
Gracias MIke.
