I just received back a message from Gabe at Ransom winery, we are confirmed. I asked about payment and this was his reply:
"Option three will be fine for the 2nd December for 22 people.
It is ok for everybody to pay on their own however with 22 people it would be a lot easier if the cash for the food and tasting was accumulated by somebody such as yourself beforehand (perhaps on the bus) and paid as one. After the tasting people are then free to purchase what they would like or not. "
The cost of the tasting and lunch is $16NZD per person so if someone from each van could collect the money on the way to the winery, that would be great!
