“Overall this experience was good. Although when we stopped at 2 of the wineries they didn’t seem very happy to have us there doing tastings. Windy Creek winery was beautiful but only allowed about 10 minutes to sample their wines. Garbin estate also rushed us. They way they were rushing people made it so that they did not get any sales. I would recommend this tour but perhaps the organisers should look at the wineries they stop at and maybe find alternatives or give them this feedback so they can be more accommodating.”
