“Enjoyable tour visiting 3 wineries. Understand that this tour is on a full sized coach with the driver giving commentary along the way. No problem with that but you don’t get the more personal experience that you do on a smaller bus. That said, our driver was very good.”

I booked the 50 person large group tour and it ended up being 8 of us- so it was quite lovely and very enjoyable. The car ride is a bit curvy, so if you have motion sickness, sit by the window and maybe bring medicine to help just in case.”
