Question 1

Is Lunch included?

Accepted Answer

We do not include lunch in the price as we like to give our passengers a selection of choices. If you are dining at one of the Hunters great restaurants in the evening or have had a large breakfast you may want something light for lunch. If you are staying in for the evening, you may want a more substantial lunch. The choice is yours.

Question 2

How many people on any one tour?

Accepted Answer

We take a maximum of 12 people. Many of the smaller boutique vineyards will only take small groups.

Question 3

What are the pickup times?

Accepted Answer

We time our first vineyard for 10am. Pokolbin pickups will be around the 9:45am mark. Enough time for you to have had breakfast and coffee.

Question 4

What wineries and cellar doors will we visit?

Accepted Answer

We favour off the beaten track smaller boutique ventures. We have a selection of cellar doors that we support. They give our groups premium service delivering wine knowledge along with a few laughs.

Question 5

Can we choose the cellar door we visit?

Accepted Answer

On the standard tour (tasting fees included), we choose the vineyards. On a private tour, you are free to choose the vineyards.

Question 6

Can we eat and drink on the bus?
