Wow, such a fun trip! Sean, the owner of Dancing Kangaroos, was warm, funny, knowledgeable and conscientious. And a good driver. The wineries we visited were all unique - we had wine from a small family-owned operation, a mid-sized one where we had a delicious sit-down lunch, and a well-established larger winery. Beer tasting afterwards too. This tour surpassed my expectations.

Highly recommend. I went by myself and had the best day drinking wine and eating with a really lovely group of people. The three wineries we went to were great, we got to try 5-8 wines at each, and the views were amazing. Giovanna guided us through everything and was so wonderful.
