During our visit to the Yarra Valley visiting wineries we dropped into this place hoping to have some lunch. Little did we know that venuse can get booked up weeks in advance so some advance planning is required. I am familiar with their wines as I do have a few in my wine rack at home. The vineyard was first planted in 1971, and has over 170 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Nebbiolo and Gamay Noir. We browsed through the store which has small goods, gifts and wines etc for sale. Next time with better planning we hope to dine here and do some wine tasting.

The second day we were in MR, we thought, we would like to experience the treats the MR region has to offer us and the wines experience to Remember by. As my smart & very practical daughter suggestions , we should tried the Classic Wine & Brewery (Min 4) @ $125 offered by the Fine Wines Touring Co. Yes, we were not dissappointed, as the experiences was valued for $$$, amen Smiley Joe H @ WA - January 2021

Pineapple Tours gave us a very memorable and enjoyable experience, picking us up from each person's accomodation and taking us to four different wineries where tastings and lunch were included in the cost, which we found to be great value for money. The lunch was very good indeed. We were very fortunate to have very nice fellow passengers and our guide (Chris) made sure all our needs were met. A must do!

Our trip is for the social, down to earth and young at heart travellers and locals that not only want to enjoy great wines and cheese, but have a laugh doing it.  We'll pick you up in the morning and mainly focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting! Our trip is a little democracy. Everything we do on my trip is discussed by the group in the morning. I will give you options to choose from including 50-70 different wineries, cheese factories and chocolate factories, Cider houses, restaurants and breweries.  However if you just want to come along and put your trust in us, we will visit 4 four unique wineries, all with a point of difference, with a 45 minute stop at a very scenic one for some wine, live music and snacks that I encourage you to bring along.  We'll also go for a search for Kangaroos in a secret spot we know about!

Inclusions: Beverages, 6-7 Tastings at each winery (included in price), Driver/guide, Live entertainment (Acoustic guitar), Private tour, Local guide, Wine tastings, Alcoholic Beverages, Platter of cheese, Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: Lunch- Please bring your own snacks which we will enjoy at one of the scenic wineries

One of the best tours I’ve done in Australia. I’ve seen and done so many things in just two days. Driving along the Great Ocean Road, learning how to stand up on a surf board in Lorne, feeding birds and seeing wild Koalas in Kennett River, eating Australia’s best ice cream, having nice talks and guitar play around the campfire, making friends, sleeping in a teepee, visiting Loch Ard Gorge and of course the 12 Apostles. It was an amazing weekend with amazing people.

Wine tours are nothing without the perfect surroundings in which to indulge. Nestled inland from Newcastle, the Hunter Valley is a mere 2 hour drive from Sydney and is home to wineries, luscious farmland, art galleries, golf courses and native wildlife. On this small-group tour with no more than 16 participants you’ll taste Australian made wines at three boutique wineries, paired with a food menu to compliment every drop. Before leaving Sydney, you’ll visit the Sydney Fish Markets to purchase fresh seafood to be used in the menu and stop in the Hawkesbury region for breakfast. Your guide is not just any old guide – he is your cook as well, and is a qualified chef! We do this to make sure that the food you get to eat matches your tour and the wines you are tasting to perfection. Our mission is to make your day not just an outing, but an expedition, exploring vineyards, and experiencing first class cooking in idyllic surrounds.

Inclusions: Beverages, Bottled water, Breakfast, Food tasting, Lunch, Snacks, Wine tasting, Driver/guide, Air-conditioned vehicle, Selected hotel pickup and drop-off

My husband and I received a birthday voucher for this experience from our children, and it was certainly money well spent. Jimmy the owner from start to finish produced a magical day for us all, from an insight into the functionality of the fish markets and breakfast in Brooklyn, to preparing gourmet dishes to pair with the lovely wines at each winery visited in the Hunter Valley. We would certainly recommend this tour to everyone and hope to have the opportunity to experience it again in the near future.

Brett is a first class guide, sharing his knowledge and passion for the area. It is a great way to explore the tablelands and benefit from local knowledge of the best places to go. Great group of fellow travellers also helped and we had enormous fun and didn't let the rainy weather dampen our spirits. Highly recommended!
