Titanic Tour of the Barossa [April 12, 2015 - Wine tour by Buzz]

[unnamed]

Looking forward to some nice wine purchases this weekend... Only possible with the generosity of you Buzz & Ruby which is very much appreciated... I hope to fill my shadow on the bus with some really nice wines... Oh, and will be nice to see some some people I haven't seen for a while too...

Bring on the weekend...!

Anyone (besides me) staying at the CP H'marsh Sq?

We will most likely be at The Playford now.

Noticed the Hilton was down to $279 for Sat night. Pity I had to get a reward night. Good value for a status member.

I think we got ours for $208...

Advance purchase Sunday night $140. I might have to put the difference towards a bottle or two.

 

[penegal]

I see it is $199?

Government rate? There are no other cheap rates left...

 

[rogerkambah]

Yeah, I took the cheapo rate at the CP of $72 for 2 nights. (Hotels.com)

'Forgot' to mention I also had $317 hotels.com credit from previous stays in Italy, Greece, Uk and Thailand

Just a reminder that we must depart at 09:00am sharp on Sunday. If we are late departing, some of the features of the wine tour may have to be dropped as we are on a tight schedule before lunch.
I suggest arriving at the bus pick up point around 08:45 - 08:50.

If you have any concerns and would like my number, just send me a PM.

Happy to report that I have - finally - found a moment to book flights.
Departure time noted, thank you.
Do we have details of the bus pick up point?
Will have to review the thread to see what I have missed.
Shame on me!

Thanks, JessicaTam.
Where/how did I miss that?
Have just trawled back through a couple of hundred posts but had not yet found it.

Only in spirit (although there were no spirits consumed)

True, Buzz!
As I recall, I almost resorted to bribery to buy a place on the earlier tour, but made it only to the top of the Reserve List that time.

For the people staying at the Hilton, the rates have dropped. I just updated by booking to AAA rate of $189
