Chose this tour because it visits more than 3 wineries. Also, picked us up at our downtown hotel. The two of us ended up by ourselves in a full van. Larry, the driver, is very experienced with the wineries. He recommended most of the winery visits, but accommodated requests for particular ones we wanted to see. He also has great local detailed information and knew the managers or owners everywhere we went, which resulted in very personal service and many fascinating conversations.
Lunch picnic was at one of the wineries, although Larry brought the food. We shared with the winemaker, making it even more fun. And the picnic was very good (cheeses, cured meats, fruit, cookies (!), wine and more. This was definitely worth the extra cost, plus was a good break from tasting.
We even chose to leave one winery after only one glass, not our style of wine. Larry came up with a good alternative based on a more detailed discussion of what we like in wine.
All in all, well worth the price, a very full day with great wine and (now) wonderful memories.
