Professional and Enjoyable - Our tour guide Gavin ensured our day ran smoothly. We were able to enjoy our wine tasting in a relaxed time frame giving us the opportunity to get to know other travellers on our tour. Gavin was professional and informative and shared his own knowledge of the local wine industry with us throughout the day. Pick up and drop off was easy. These guys due a great job adjusting to the changing schedules of the ships. Fantastic work Gavin!

Great shore excursion - The directions where to meet from the port shuttle were accurate and our driver/guide was waiting for us. 10 of us went to visit 4 wineries and a chocolate store. Lunch was great and our guide gave us lots of great information. We were back in plenty of time for our ships departure time. Everyone really enjoyed the day.

Great time.... just what we wanted. - This was a very organized and well run tour. Our guide, Hamish, was very knowledgeable about the area and wines. We started with a small family owned winery and worked our way up where finally the last stop was a large operation. We had a great time and found it a good value for the $$. Would highly recommend.
