Highlight of our trip - a must do! - The entire experience was a highlight of our trip! Our hostess Gemma was exceptional with going through the history, sampling each wine and the process of making our very own blend. Highly recommend this experience if you love your red wine.

Wine a delight! - The whole experience was fabulous. The tour guide / instructor Karen was a delight, full of knowledge, funny and so helpful. Sharing it with friends or family is so special as you get to take home a wine you make as a memory of the experience. Highly recommend.

100% do it - What a fantastic afternoon, our wonderful hostess Gemma explained the whole wine making experience we were about to undertake with amazing flair, knowledge and passion. Credit to herself. Started with a small introduction which she remembered our names through out the wine making experience without name tags then progressed to the base wine tasting and creating our own wine and bottling to take home. Finishing the afternoon was some wine tasting and photos, definitely a memorable experience.

A unique and fun experience - A fun activity to do with a group. Host was really engaging. It was good to play around with mixing different blends of wine to find what you like (or not). Felt really proud of our end results and a great talking point with friends.
