Excellent Day! - Excellent tour. Ross picked us up exactly on time in a comfortable mini bus. The pace was just right and the company was excellent. Visited 2 vineyards and a distillery - all with around 5 drinks to taste - more than enough for anyone 🙂 The lunch and setting at Mission Estate was stunning - if anything could be improved it would be to spend a little more time there just enjoying the fantastic house and surroundings (minor point). Overall a brilliant day and definitely good value. Thanks Ross!

Great wine tasting, food, host and company - A super afternoon, led by Ross, experiencing 2 wineries, a wonderful lunch at Mission, a distillery tasting session and cheese/wines at Askerne.
Ross is a fantastic host going the extra mile to make the experience special and memorable. We were a mixed group of 7 strangers but when the wine started flowing over lunch we soon became chatty and friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough. 10/10 and a gleaming gold star.
