Reviews
Matt S - 5/5
We thought this select tour was a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday in SA. The small wineries we visited gave us the opportunity to be up close and personal with people who are very passionate (and knowledgeable) about their products and we were given plenty of time to work through the numerous wine tastings along the way, given our small group, just the two of us and one other couple. We particularly loved Shingleback and the views from the Hugh Hamilton tasting room were stunning. Innez' commentary throughout the day was very informative without being "information overload".
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit McLaren Vale.

Danny was a fantastic, fun & knowledgeable host. Great way to see McLaren Vale. I recommend Danny at the highest regard. Can't wait to book the Baroosa with them later in the year. Thank you so much for a lovely memorable day. Em & Chris.

This was my 2nd time doing the McLaren Vale Small Group Tour and it did not disappoint! We visited 4 fantastic wineries (including one that served us lunch). The pace was perfect - enough wineries, but not so many that it felt rushed. The tour guide was fantastic and was very passionate about the region :) Going forward, I'd love to do other tours that this company offers - I'm sure they'll be just as good! And a word of advice to single travellers - I've done this tour twice as a solo traveller, and both times the groups were super-fun and everyone got along quite well. Would highly recommend this tour if you're single (or if you just like to drink good wine!) :)
