Trips
A wine weekend, with someone else doing the driving
Cellar doors, a long lunch and a designated driver or a tour bus. Plynr keeps your wine weekend in one place, so you can focus on the tasting.
Sound familiar?
Which region?
Hunter, Barossa, Yarra or Margaret River? Everyone has a favourite.
Getting between cellar doors
Nobody wants to be the designated driver, and tours need booking.
Bookings and numbers
Cellar doors and lunches need numbers confirmed in advance.
