What to expect
Expect a structured but unhurried progression between venues, with tastings woven through the day rather than crammed at the end. The vineyard will walk you through their production methods; the food outlets range from small-batch producers to established names, each with their own story. At the Lavender Farm, seasonal availability means the scone-and-tea experience may vary or be unavailable outside peak months. Gin tastings happen at dedicated stops. This is a curated sampling tour, not a long lunch, so pace yourself with the alcohol across the seven hours.
Good to know
Book travel insurance covering weather-related cancellations—tenders sometimes don't run in rough conditions, and no refunds apply due to upfront costs. Lunch isn't included; bring cash or plan to purchase at venues. Minimum drinking age is 18. Prams and strollers are fine for small children; infants sit on an adult's lap.
