Hop-On / Hop-Off
Wine Tours Lovedale / North Pokolbin
Recommendations for a great day out around Covid Restrictions:
With restrictions still in place, we suggest downloading the operating Timetable/iGuide and pre-planning the stops and venues you want to visit on the day. Contact the venues directly to enquire if a booking is required (most have online bookings now) and book in at the time the bus is due at that location or as close to. You can stay at that location for 1 stop or as many stops as you like! Allow 55mins for a guided tasting to get the best experience and don’t forget to book lunch along the way!
