What to expect
You'll be collected and driven through the Peninsula's vineyard landscape, stopping at two quality wineries for structured tastings where guides explain production methods and regional characteristics. Lunch comes at a well-regarded winery restaurant—either Rare Hare or Merrick's General Wine Store—where you'll sit down to a proper meal with wines chosen to complement each course. Expect informative but unhurried pacing; this isn't rushed coach-tour territory. The group maxes out at eight people, so conversation flows naturally. Between tastings and lunch, you'll take in the region's scenery and hear stories about the producers and their craft.
