Chris is the best!!! We really enjoyed this your thanks to Chris! He is very nice, kind, and fun!I was kinda nervous because of my poor English, but He was kind to everyone and He made good atmosphere so I could find friends there! There was some problem in the car and time schedule was changed a little bit, but I totally didn't care. I defintly will recommend this tour to my friends!thank you.

Lovely wine tour, the wineries had some great views (perfect for any photos). Each stop had 5+ wines to try. You have X2 stop before lunch and although lovely food the lunch wasn't very filling so I'd suggest a big breakfast or snacks with you to ensure you don't get too drunk :)

Very informative, very engaging guide. San was very knowledgeable, personable and managed to keep us entertained for the whole three hours. We could have listened to him over and over.

Adam was informative and funny good knowledge of the area Lots of stops and refreshments Thoroughly recommend
