Wine Tasting without Worries about getting back to Cruise Ship On Time - Opted for this wine tour versus booking the same excursion through the cruise company. Really enjoyed the three wineries we toured and the lunch platter was delicious. The tour operator made absolutely sure we were able to get back to the ship in time for departure. An overall lovely day wine tasting!

Great wine tasting - Andrew was our guide and driver. Did a great job. My only comment was the tour was for 5 hours - we arrived into town earlier so we started at 830 instead of 1030 we did get back at 345 in time to catch the last shuttle at 4.

Entertaining and informative. - Interesting trip. In the company of some hard core fans of the Lord of the Rings movies. Their passion was captivating but could not match it. Driver and guide was very entertaining and learned a lot from him about the trilogy of movies.
