From pickup to drop-off the day is structured to let you move through vineyard rows and behind distillery doors without hurry: tastings and a cheese platter at a Derwent Valley vineyard, an introduction to regional spirits at a local distillery, a distillery tour and tasting at Old Kempton with lunch there, and a final wine stop in the Coal River Valley before returning to Sandy Bay.
