Your experienced wine guide will lead you on a tasting journey, travelling in style in a luxury Mercedes-Benz minivan through the three main contrasting wine sub-regions of Gibbston, Cromwell and the Bannockburn basin.

Learn about the early pioneering history and how the wine region was formed through an array of fun facts and exciting stories from your knowledgeable Wine Guide.

 

For your final indulgence of the day, delight in some artisan chocolates to enjoy before returning to your accommodation.
