Shane was a wonderful host. Extremely knowledgeable about the McLaren Vale area and what it has to offer. We would not hesitate to use Buckley Tours again and highly recommend for a wine country tour.

We had the most amazing wine tour with Shane! From start to finish, he was an incredibly kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable guide who made the entire experience unforgettable. He went above and beyond to give us a close-up kangaroo encounter, which was such a special highlight of the trip. Visiting his extended alpaca family was also a delightful surprise that added so much charm to the day. Shane curated an excellent tour filled with outstanding wines, beautiful scenery, and plenty of laughs. We left with not only many bottles of amazing wine, but also lasting memories of a truly unique adventure. If you’re looking for an outstanding wine tour with a personal touch, I couldn’t recommend Shane more highly!

Great experience. Shane tailored the tour to suit our requests. A relaxed visit to wineries with no rush and a leisurely lunch in Hahndorf. A great way to spend the day in the Adelaide Hills region.
