Grape Escape Wine Tours - since March 2000 Heather Payne and her 12 seater 1870 J1 Bedford retired school bus have proved a most successful combination. Based at Clyde. Heather realised the importance of the wine growing industry in Central Otago and put her previous experience in the liquor industry to good use to create wine tours that locals and visitors could enjoy without worrying about drinking and driving. As well as visiting a number of local vineyards throughout the district. Lunches at cafes or wineries are often included in the itinerary. Options are numerous and can be tailored to customers needs with prices varying accoring to the nature of the trip says Heather.
