What people say about this operator.
What they like?
Hosts who know their stuff, cheese and wine pairings that hit the spot, plus beer and chocolate stops that make this more than your usual wine tour.
What could be better?
You don't pick the wineries and some time is spent at the Blokes' base, so if you've got a cellar door wish list, this one's more about variety.
