Pick the earlier tour especially in months of November do not do the night tour. It probably would have been nicer if it was day light you would see the views but it was ok also for the price we should not have had to pay for tasting the wine could have provided small shot glasses

This was a great experience, my husband and I went on this tour with 7 other people (two couples, one group of three girls) and everyone seemed to have a great time. Our driver, Andy, was amazing and had so much knowledge of the region and wineries. Plus the sunset was amazing!

Our guide was great! He was very knowledgeable and informative and gave us a good amount of time at each winery. One of the wineries that is listed was closed at the time we went, but it was replaced with another great winery that we really enjoyed.
