Summary:
What a great day! We met the bus at the Tasmanian Travel and Information Centre car park. The first couples got off at Cole River Valley and we started at Riversdale. We enjoyed a tasting which finished in time for the bus to pick us up in an hour. Next stop Puddleduck. We had a wander around Richmond. A tasting at Pooleys and finished off at Caledon! We were dropped off at the Mornington Inn. Killara and Sullivans Cove were closed for private functions. The timetable was not the same as published but we had an hour at each venue. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend.
