What to expect
You'll be collected and driven into vineyard country, stopping at carefully selected wineries rather than rushing through a packed itinerary. Each cellar door visit lets you taste wines properly and chat with winemakers or staff without feeling hurried. Between stops, you'll notice the landscape – rolling hills, neat rows of vines, and occasionally kangaroos moving through the paddocks. Lunch sits in the gardens complex, a calm spot to refuel before afternoon tastings. Throughout the day you'll sample complementary cheese and chocolate pairings. Wine purchases and additional tastings are optional and at your own cost.
