Obviously Penfolds wine speaks for itself however Vicki totally took our experience to the next level. Upon arrival the space lacked the ambience of most wineries in the Barossa and dare I say, looked a little clinical. However, this apprehension washed away when Vicki started our tasting experience. Vicki went above and beyond, sharing stories and knowledge. She is a brilliant asset to the Penfolds experience!

My husband and I had the absolutely pleasure of experiencing the private 3.5 hr Luxury Jaguar tour with Tony. It was amazing! Being autumn it was quite cold so the Jag was definitely the best option for us. The Jag was stylish, smooth and comfortable to ride in and Tony was easy going, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and obviously proud of showing us around his incredibly beautiful "backyard". It was quite the experience having a professional tour which included a running history commentary, door opening, bag carrying and photo opportunities to add that extra luxury flair that we didn't expect but definitely appreciated. We highly recommend this tour, so please support Tony and book now, you will not regret it. Thank you so much Tony, it was the highlight of our honeymoon.

Greg runs an amazing service. He is very knowledgable about the area and as he has visited all the wineries numerous times can suggest the best places to visit. We had a full bus and a superb day out despite it being extremely cold since the weekend we visited was when the arctic blast came through. Highly recommend to book Greg for a private tour.

My husband and I had a wonderful day being guided by Matthew around McLaren Vale. He took the time to get to know us and from there he really personalised the tour to suit our style. This tour was part of our honeymoon trip and we were treated to some of the most delicious and refined wineries and restaurants on offer. We were even gifted some beautiful wine glasses to remember this special trip. As first time visitors to South Australia, Matthew’s exceptional knowledge made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We were able to take our time and really enjoy every moment. The extra surprise of a drop off at ‘Big Easy Radio’ at the end of the tour for cocktails and live music was yet another highlight from a stellar tour. Thanks Matthew!

Our wine tour felt like a behind the scenes tour of mclaren vale, which included a mix of the bigger wineries and some of the small boutiques. Our favourite stop was at Hugh Hamilton with the 360 stunning views and amazing tasting wine. I highly recommend anyone thinking about booking this tour, definitely book it!
