Typical wine tour, not special

3.00Enjoyed this wine tour but expected more/better. Specifically, description specified that there was a wine and cheese pairing and a wine and chocolates pairing. There was no wine and cheese pairing and the chocolates in the pairing were just ok with little guidance on why this pair went well together. The mismatch to description was very frustrating since I spent a lot of time trying to pick out just the right tour. Stopped at 4 cellar doors for tastings. The locations were ok from a scenic perspective but not stunning (but all different which was nice). One included a little talk about the wine making process, but no tours of properties or cellars. Lunch was just ok - but filling. Pick up and drop off were smooth. Driver Michael was friendly and kept us on schedule. Even dropped us off closer to where we were staying. And he helped us spot kangaroos on the drive and stopped so folks could take photos. Bus was ok - high seat backs which was nice but not much leg room (my knees pressed against the chair in front of me). Audio was hard to hear when Michael was giving instructions but this may have been due to other passengers talking. Note: - stops were 2/3 white wine. - our tour had 2 groups, half who had the premium package which included lunch and tasting at the lunch stop and half who did not. It was not an issue (at least for those with the premium package).
The locations were...

Suboptimal vineyard tour

3.00- not good selection of vineyards - horrible bus with tight seatbelts - the most expensive of the 3 tours we have done and worst value for money
Great way to enjoy drinking and see a slice of Australia outside Sydney.

5.00Great day with tasty regional wines and liquors. A really fun day for anyone who enjoys fine wine and flavored vodkas and gins.

5.00Cris was an excellent guide/driver. He pulled over to let us get pictures of some kangaroos. The van was not suitable for tall people as the seat rows were too close together. If the van is full it will be quite uncomfortable for tall folks.
Highly Recommended Day Trip From Sydney

5.00I went on this tour back in Nov 2025. I really enjoyed the tour & our driver! You are essentially getting 3 very different experiences with one day trip. The wine & cheese paring (supper high energy & engaging due to our hosts) , Wine & cholate pairing (very chill & educational plus the chocolates chosen were great!) and tequila tasting (made the group very social) were all very different and unique experiences.
Poorly planned tour; not worth it

2.00Avoid this if you have any experience with wine or touring other vineyards. While the first vineyard was nice, the next two stops were in back rooms of restaurants with no views at all and defeated the point of traveling to see the wine country. To travel two hours, I wanted to see views and actual vineyards, not the lackluster back dining room of a restaurant, crammed with our whole tour group. On top of that, the planning of the day just made no sense. Why would you have us eat a huge lunch and then immediately after in the same room, have us do a cheese tasting? We were also an hour and a half late getting back to Sydney, and the whole day does doesn’t seem worth it.
Don’t do it!

2.00Not really wine tour. Only when to one winery and two wine bars. Didn’t need to drive 2 hours each way to goto a wine tasting bar. Could have done that in Sydney. It was so loud it was impossible to here the wine Stewart.

5.00Great experience worth the long journey from Sydney to sample some great wines at three vineyards and then liquors and gin and vodka sampling too, lovely pairings with chocolate and cheese and a beautiful lunch, recommend.
A must go
