What to expect
You'll travel in a private vehicle with a knowledgeable driver who knows the back roads and best stops. Expect to pause in Richmond to wander its historic streets, then head towards the wine region where you'll taste oysters fresh from local waters and sample vineyard wines. Lunch is a proper affair with views across the vines—bring an appetite. The afternoon leg carries you towards Freycinet, with time to notice the landscape change as you approach the coast. It's a relaxed itinerary built for conversation and observation rather than rushing.
