25 Mar 2024
Our original trip( gourmet wine cruise) was sadly cancelled by the cruise company and we were offered a refund or an alternative cruise. We opted for the alternative cruise which was running on the same day as our cancelled trip.
Good points..
Crew were entertaining and very helpful.
Wine tasting on board was nice with cheese and biscuits
Wine tasting at winery well organised and good
Chocolate stop was ok
Trip back on river was very pleasant with free flow wine
Not so good points…
Drinking water on boat was vile -sorry to be brutal but chemical city and undrinkable with no option to buy bottled water..
Lunch was pre ordered and very basic menu ( burgers salad pizza). Sadly several lunches were served 25 mins after everyone else..
Mini bus was mini! If you’ve got a bit of a girth ( I have!) it was quite tight to pass up and down the aisle.
Bus driver was very good though and she drove us very nicely.
All in all the day was ok but quite expensive for a river trip with burger and chips or pizza. I think the gourmet meal at sandlefords winery would have been much better but we didn’t get that opportunity.
