They pick you up at your door and drive you home so you're able to just sit back and relax without the worry of driving. It is reasonably priced as well! I think my favourite will always be the classic Sumac Ridge. But we did try an organic winery as well called Sage Hills which was great too! I would definitely recommend Merlin and Bare tours to others!
