Excellent day out. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic day at Shawsgate Vineyard. The tour was extremely informative and the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The lunch consisted of cheese, ham, salad and bread with a delicious cheesecake for dessert. There was no choice, but the food was good. The wine tasting involved quite a lot of wine, and we were able to choose a glass of our favourite for lunch - something to consider if you are driving! I would highly recommend this!

Slug & Lettuce
We received a buyagift voucher and chose to upgrade it which was a very easy process and was booking the meal at our chosen venue. The meal was very good and the venue managed the voucher process without any difficulty.
