Cruise Ship Tour
Come ashore and have an amazing time aboard the Bubbly Grape Wine Tours
Small group sizes of no more than 8, traveling around in comfort in our Mercedes Vans listening to our wonderful award winning crew.
Hit a mixture of our famous and lesser known wineries in a perfect time frame to fit in with your cruise ship times.
We promise to have you back on time.
If the ship sadly doesn't dock we won't charge you a cent and full payment will be refunded.
All our cruise ship tours are different lengths of time so make sure you have picked the right one
Note: We pick you up from the Picton i-site (information centre) to start the tours. We stand out with our logo on the van so very easy to find. At dockside get onto the free shuttles and it will drop you off metres away from where we will be waiting. Too easy.
All your tasting charges in the wineries are included in our tours so sit back and enjoy being Driven To Drink!!
