Booked this shore excursion on line prior to departing on our down under cruise of Australia and New Zealand. We were a party of 5 travelling with my elderly parent. We were met by Larissa, our driver and guide, at the Information Centre in Picton. Larissa drove us around and showed us some of the sites in Picton before we went on to visit 3 wineries where we enjoyed private wine tastings. The day was very well organized and each of our visits pre booked. We had lunch at Saint Clair winery after our tasting, followed by a visit to the Makana chocolate factory. Larissa was very informative about the area and we all had a great day. Would thoroughly recommend Your Local Chauffeur for any similar tours out of Picton.
