Hot tip: we saw a newly opened winery across from Brennans called Waitiri Creek and what a surprise it was! It wasn’t on the list, but had the best views of the whole day and brilliant staff.

We went to Albourne Estate which was excellent, but according to your itinerary on the website we were expecting to…”
