Bendigo is special β rugged and beautiful. This tour captured it perfectly. Pinot focus was exactly what we were after.
Smaller, more intimate experience than the bigger CO sub-regions. The microclimate narration was really educational. Loved it.
We're repeat CO visitors and Bendigo is our favourite spot. The Wine Trails tour added depth we didn't expect. Absolutely recommend.
Really enjoyed Bendigo. Quiet roads, stunning views, excellent Pinot. What more do you need.
