How Does it Work?
This bus works as a hop on-hop off. In other words, you can get on and off the bus as many times as you like at any of its stops throughout the day.
The bus follows a predetermined route with certain fixed stops at different wineries. You'll decide which wineries you want to visit during the tour and the bus will pick you up and drop you off at each of them according to the established timetable. During the tour, the same bus will wait for you at each stop to continue the tour.
