Hi Bobi, Thanks for the blog, kinda inspires me to take a tour and travel our country.
Been to a couple of these. You need a few days to do the wine route though and keep yourself in check for the wine tasting bit.
It's great for topping up your wine collection though!
i would totally agree on that, especially the red wines, which are my favourite! as some people would agree, it's a sin spitting out what you taste! so i can fully understand if u choose to do a few tours over a period of days or if 1 tour takes u a couple of days - ha,ha!
