Karen and Mark had secured us a wine tour leaving from our next lodgings at Rosevears so we had to be there by 11am. We left Swansea at 8am and drove through even more different landscapes.

A bakery was attached to the pub so we all indulged in a late breakfast. They ran out of chunky meat pies (of course).

Our driver, Terry from Tamar Valley Wine Tours, arrived right on 11am and we began a tour of three wineries and a gin distillery.

First stop was Tamar Ridge winery. Our hostess was incredibly informative and we all bought a bottle (or maybe three) to begin a collection to send home.

We then walked across to the adjoining gin distillery. They had the racing driver who they sponsor visiting and had heard of Karen’s powerless behind the lens. They asked her to take their group photo with him.

It was then into the bus and about a short drive to a delicious lunch at The Ducks.

We then finished the day with two more wineries – Winterbrook and Little Wonder.

All good things come to an end so we farewelled Terry and checked-in. Our rooms are incredible with an amazing view.

We went to the pub and had a light dinner. Wayne wanted soup but of course, they had run out. Michael spotted two seals swimming down the river.

Before going to bed, we had to try out the outdoor spa (also with amazing view). Each of our rooms had a private one. Robyn and Al joined us in ours.

PLAY OF THE DAY

Karen and Michael for organising a great wine tour to wrap up our fantastic two weeks together.
