What our wine lovers say

  • Highlight of our trip to Perth!

    We booked the Margaret River tour and it was the perfect mix of amazing wines, stunning scenery, and genuine hospitality. The blending workshop was so much fun, and we loved comparing Aussie wines with French ones. You can tell this tour was created by someone who loves wine and people. Can’t recommend it enough.

  • A wine tour like no other!

    We’ve done a few wine tours before, but nothing came close to this. The tastings were fun and interactive (loved the blind tasting challenge!), and the vibe was so relaxed and friendly. You can tell everything is thoughtfully planned, from the boutique wineries to the gourmet lunch. Highly recommend if you want more than just sipping wine, it’s an experience.

  • Personal, premium, unforgettable.

    What a day! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, but not in a stuffy way — it felt like a day out with friends who really know their wine. We visited places we never would’ve found on our own and tasted some truly special bottles. The small group size made it feel really personal. Already planning our next one!
