It’s a unique experience of local produce and the diverse scenery.
Great day. Brett is very informative. Personally I found it to be one to 2 stops too long & 3 wineries too much. Food was delicious, I wanted more of that. The diverse scenery of the tablelands was truly amazing. Overall I did enjoy the experience!
