Alexandra is properly off the beaten track and that's the appeal. Found small producers we'd never have discovered. The climate stories were gripping.
Intimate wine scene, the audio guide made it feel like having a local sommelier riding along. Exactly the vibe we wanted.
Stunning scenery and fantastic wines. GPS narration worked even where there was zero reception. Impressed by the tech.
Short but sweet. Not as many stops as Gibbston but the ones here are quality. Worth combining with a Cromwell day.
