"A very enjoyable way to spend the day. It was well planned and there was a lot to see and do."

"Local wineries for tasting variety of wines and being in a fantastic and different Australian environment. It was great to take a glass of wine to look at the animals."

"Doing a wine tasting in such a unique environment is excellent. I enjoyed walking around with a drink, checking out the animals and learning about the conservation efforts."
