MoonSisters - 5/5
The tour was absolutely fantastic, I would highly recommend ordering cheese platter as it went really well with the wine tasting. The bus will take you from the city to mountains with scenic winery then to the beach at Glenelg. We were lucky to see the sun set which was picturesque. The tour is worth every penny.
