Really enjoyed our full day wine tour with Marcella who is an entertaining and excellent host. We also left a personal item on the bus and Sarah was extremely helpful in returning this to us the following morning before we left Picton - thank you!

What a great experience! Our guide knew so much about the area and the local wineries, the 4 chosen wineries were fantastic, and we got to experience everything knowing that we had a safe ride and a knowledgable guide. Can't ask for much more. Great way to spend the day.
