This was a fun day out! The tram and bus options and timetable seems a little complicated at first but it’s easy to get around and all the stops are beautiful. We visited 3 vineyards and enjoyed a lot of great wine and food, with stunning scenery and fun transportation.

Jake – Spain

Really fun, informative and great wineries.. be aware that you don’t really get a tour of the cellar/history of each winery

The experience is not just about the wine—it's about the journey, the scenery, the stories, and the joy of discovering something new at every stop.

Clean and safe transport. Some lines were down last minute and tour company communicated clearly. However, they did give out pamphlets with old information / old routes which made things confusing when planing for the day.
