What to expect
You'll start at Swan Street Richmond Train Station at 8:45am, boarding a coach by 9am for the short drive into wine country. The morning involves rolling between three estates, spending time in each cellar tasting current releases. Around midday, settle down to a two-course lunch at one winery, wine in hand. The afternoon lightens up considerably—the Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery visit feels like dessert permission. Throughout the day, your guide fills in the valley's winemaking story without lecturing. Travel time between stops is built into the eight-hour total.
