WINE and dine in comfort - and without guilt.
The offer is on the table from Southern Crush Wine Tours, a new tour operator officially launched at the Southern Highlands Visitors Information Centre in Mittagong yesterday.
The day tour will involve visits to four wineries and restaurants in the region with pick-up points in Sydney and at the Visitors' Information Centre. Tours will run on Fridays and Saturdays, with the first tour beginning this Friday.

Sydney : Tour Operators Drive Guests To Drink
By David Ellis
October 2008
....
And this month [Southern Crush Wine Tours] put their combined years in tourism, the wine industry and the Southern Highlands to good use to launch all-inclusive wine tours from Sydney to this emerging new wine region.
They've appropriately dubbed it Southern Crush Wine Tours and are initially including four of the region's twenty-plus boutique wineries in full-day tours, with pick-ups from several Sydney CBD locations for the trip to the Southern Highlands, which interestingly are an hour closer to Sydney than the Hunter Valley wine region.
There is also a pick-up at the Southern Highlands Visitor Centre at Mittagong for those from areas other than Sydney wanting to join tours from there.
Numbers are limited to a maximum of just twenty and guests are provided with a "tasting tool kit" comprising such things as information about each winery and their wine styles, tips on wine tasting, a history of the region, and food and wine pairing.
