This tour is the way to go - skip the tours which take you to a bunch of wineries and instead enjoy a good amount of time at three of the best on this tour. We loved our guide and the weather was top notch for enjoying nice wine in this unbelievable location.

The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the wines we tasted were delicious. I wish we could have tasted even more wines, but it was definitely enough to make it value for money.
