I remember taking a wine tour with Tower in 1992-4 approx., and the excursion focused on Beaulieu Vineyard, which is industrial although interesting in its own way. The two wineries visited on Saturday were on a much more intimate scale: the Dali artworks at the second establishment were fun. Would it have been possible to squeeze in a third venue? Still, I was glad to have time for tasting and purchasing. I needed an out-of-town outing after a difficult conference and this excursion filled the bill. The driver was charming although I'm not sure the tourists on the bus (predominantly from abroad) tipped him (I made sure to). Not sure what your policy is on that subject. So all in all I was pleased with my afternoon.
