The tour was interesting and well done by Rachel, however the bus was terrible. We got stuck in the back seats of the bus. The bus was no where near state of the art, seats were small with tall backs and the visibility was very limited. The bus was so noisy couldn’t hear the guide much of the time.Wouldn’t do again.

This was a well-organized tour, with an excellent tour guide (Bryce). We visited three wineries, a dairy, a farm market, and a chocolaterie, and had good samples at all the locations. Lunch was very good as well. The wine tasting presentation at Yering Station winery was particularly good.

This was an excellent way to spend a day--all the stops were great--from fresh fruit, to cheese, to wine, to wine, to wine, to chocolate! Highly recommend it.
