How the Day Begins: Farm Visit and Morning Tea

The tour kicks off on a relaxed note at a local farm, where you get to say hello to alpacas, emus, and baby lambs. This is more than just a cute animal encounter; it offers a glimpse into rural life that you wouldn’t typically get on a standard wine tour. Many guests, like Natalie, appreciated this “fun and different” start to the day, with one reviewer noting, “what better way to start than with alpacas, emus, and lambs.”

Following the farm visit, you’ll enjoy a hearty morning tea with homemade scones, jam, and cream, paired with locally roasted coffee or tea. This break not only fuels you for the day ahead but also provides an opportunity to chat with your guide and fellow travelers, setting a friendly, authentic tone. The emphasis on local produce and homemade treats makes this a memorable start.

The Middle of the Day: Wine Tastings and Olive Oil

The core of the tour revolves around three boutique wineries carefully selected for their unique styles and welcoming atmospheres. Unlike large commercial vineyards, these smaller operations are often family-run, offering a more personal experience and tasting that’s richer in stories and local flavor. Guests consistently praise guides like Dani and Ziggy for their depth of knowledge and storytelling, making each winery visit an educational experience.

One guest remarked, “The wineries are smaller and family owned business. If you’re wanting to laugh and try wine and chocolate, this is a 5-star tour.” Expect to sample a variety of wines, including reds, whites, and possibly some sparkling or dessert styles, depending on the winery.

Lunch is served at an olive farm located right in the region’s heart. Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious meal, often highlighted as a “divine” complement to the wine and produce tasting. You’ll also get to sample olive oils and other handcrafted products, adding a savory dimension to your day. The olive farm setting is often described as beautiful and peaceful, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely meal.

The Sweet Finale: Chocolate, Coffee, and Surprises

The tour doesn’t just stop at wine and olives. Many reviews mention a “delightful chocolate, coffee, and tea stop” — a treat for the senses and a fun break from wine. The chocolate, in particular, receives high praise; guests often comment on the high-quality and inventive chocolates that are unlike mass-produced varieties.

Throughout the day, there may also be some surprise stops or extra tastings, which guides like Ziggy and Dani sprinkle in to keep the experience lively and personalized. The combination of small, family-owned businesses and carefully curated stops ensures you’ll see the region through a more genuine lens.
