“Had a great winery tour in Albany on the Mt Barker Grape Escape Tour. Visited 4 wineries during the day with lunch provided on one. Each winery was unique in their own way and provided a great tasting experience with 7-8 tastings at each. What an experience! Our driver/guide, Susan, did a great job with explaining the history of the region and keeping us all track. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Albany.” 5 stars Sharon Jan 2025.
