Despite the wet weather, the six of us had a great day. We visited 4 excellent wineries, had a wonderful lunch and visited an art shop and a chocolate shop. The guide and driver - Vince was fantastic and really ensured we had a great day. The pick up was smooth, the trip down and back fantastic and everything went to plan. Well worth the money. It was great fun!

Enjoy McLaren Vale Wine Region

Danny our host, was extremely knowledgeable of the district and kept the conversation relevant and informative. Great choice of wineries and he had good rapport with winery hosts and owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our day out.

Great Personalized Tour

Marina_D, Feb 2023

We had an excellent day. Our tour guide Inez was fantastic. She shared information about the area and the historic relevance. The Cellar Door experiences were fabulous. The Regional Platter for lunch was superb. She really personalized the trip to our needs and desires. Thank you for a memorable day.

Excellent tour

Well organised and very informative. Did a Barossa tour the previous day with another company but this tour was significantly better in every way.

Solid Experience of McLaren Vale

Timothy_M, Dec 2022

Overall a nice day out with a pretty small group (total of 5 plus our guide Danny). Hotel pickup is prompt arriving at the time as notified the afternoon before making everything simple. Danny was a really nice fellow and gave some really great history about Adelaide. We went to four wineries and two were really good, but I have to say with Hugh Hamilton and Richard Hamilton I didn’t particular care for them (although the view from Hugh’s was very nice). They were nice but didn’t suit my taste, but everyone will different (although it seemed that a majority of us didn’t like their wines that much either). My main criticism really is I feel Danny just needs to be a little bit more engaging at the wineries. With other tours I had done the guide tends to integrate really nicely with the group and almost act as just another person of the tour (but without the wine tastings for them, good for us but unfortunate for them 😅). Danny tended to disappear for a bit and leave us to it which maybe some people will like more but I would have preferred more of a presence. But don’t take away the fact that he is a very nice person and approachable of course, but the feeling of distance and the choices of the Hamiltons stop it from being a 5 star review. Would also suggest a mic in the bus to ensure Danny can be heard as well as an offer to write names on the wines we purchase.

Winery selection good....

Wonderful wine tour

Liz_M, Mar 2022

Learning so much about wines from our very informative and delightful driver Andrew. Visited a few smaller wineries which was terrific

Outstanding!!

Mark_A, Mar 2022

We enjoyed Danny’s professionalism and knowledge of the area, particularly his insight into the vineyard’s visited. Our favourite was Shingleback, as their representative, Matt was also quite knowledgeable, this set the standard for the day in our book. Lunch was delicious and the view from Richard Hamilton’s tasting room was spectacular. Thank you again for our tour! Cheers!

Good fun day

Rodney_J, Feb 2022

Nice group of people and knowledgeable driver/host. Wineries visited were not the bigger ones but more the boutique ones, good choice. A very nice platter for lunch.

Amazing fun

May_R, Feb 2022

Danny provided a flawless tour with plenty of wine tastings, a humorous scenic drive and boundless information of the region and wine makers. The range of wineries was perfect, we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

The driver is very sympathic, you taste a lot of wine and it was very amazing. The only little problem is the lunch because it is not a lunch it is an big apéritif.

Beautiful tour! recommend to all
