“Our first trip to the Yarra Valley and such a perfect way to see and enjoy the experience.

Review of the Barossa wine tour from Adelaide, with four tastings, winery lunch, Tanunda, Maggie Beer, chocolate, pickup, and practical tips.
“Overall the experience was great and Ashley our guide was a great person and managed the entire tour well. Our only issue was the return back to the CBD.. can’t understand why we have to detour way off the CBD to drop others.
