Scenic wine tour

Interesting six hour scenic tour-cum-winetasting. Lovely views on the way to visit three wineries with different styles, plus a substantial platter lunch and a glass of your choice at another. Just six participants in a minibus, hosted by the enthusiastic Vicki.

What's it like to do this tour in July? Cold? Rainy? Bare vines?
