Having recently experienced a Southern Forest tour with Anthony and Tracey we would like to thank them very much for the effort they put into making our trip so enjoyable. It was great to visit the various farms and experience the enthusiasm the younger generation, who are taking over the family farms, have to looking after the soil, their animals and the environment. Great food and wine too, all round, a wonderful experience.
