Our guide Maggie was fantastic! I highly recommend this tour. We attended mission winery which was stunning followed by a local brewery. Great value for money & we felt very welcomed. The Art deco township was beautiful & quirky. I would love to go back!

Stephen

Excellent wine tour. Kirsty, our tour guide was fantastic, very friendly and informative. The wineries we visited were all excellent and we enjoyed great wines, the history of each winery and informed explanations about the various wines we tried. First class, would highly recommend

Emma

We visited 4 wineries when we did this tour in late June 2025. We were one of two couples on the tour and had a great experience with our guides Kirsty and Anil, who were so friendly, informative and passionate about their jobs and their hometown.

We visited Brookfields Vineyard, Shed 530, Church Road Winery, and Mission Estate Winery. All four were great, but Brookfields and Church Road stood out – Brookfields for it’s small, passionate, family-run vibe and Church Road for its beautiful venue and tasting notes from Paul. With that said? The pizza at Shed 530 was amazing and Benjamin at Mission Estate were great too, option to choose Gluten free pizza and vegan cheese, Amazing

Great Wine Tour

Had an amazing day with Kirsty on the premium wine tour. Visited 4 very different wineries and got to taste some wonderful wines. The day was fun and informative with a great lunch. Can highly recommend.
