Great tour

Dawn M - 4/5

Its a long drive to get there from Sydney. Nice scenery We went to several wineries but also a chocolate factory, distillery and a brewery restaurant. All were nice except chocolate. Not interesting because we didn’t see anything made. they sold us stuff. They should delete that and add winery.

Cortlandt C - 3/5

This is a good tour, but it is a long day that begins and ends with a long ride. Our driver/tour guide/entertainer Billy did a great job. Some of the tours at the vineyards themselves are a bit lackluster. The visit to Drayton was the highlight. The young lady was engaging and kept the briefing lively. We only recommend this is you in Australia for a week and have some time to really expend...otherwise there is to much to see and do in Australia to spend 30 of your time in a van for a tour of three vineyards...
