About this tour

What to expect
Expect a gentle pace suited to wine exploration rather than rushed sightseeing. You'll move between three or four stops, tasting at each with explanation from your guide. Lunch arrives mid-tour at a winery or local venue—nothing fancy, just proper food. The drive itself takes in rainforest and elevated views as you wind through the plateau. Most of the day is spent either tasting, eating, or sitting on a comfortable bus. Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes if there's any on-foot vineyard time. The rhythm is social: small groups mean you'll chat with other travellers and hosts alike.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant or with significant heart/fitness concerns. Public transport options exist nearby if you need them. Cheese platters are available for purchase directly from wineries—not included. Bring a card or cash for any bottles you want to take home. The tour runs rain or shine.
