Experience Details

Winner of 2020 Best Tourism Experience, 2021 Best Tourism Operator & Attraction and 2022 Best Customer Service*.


This tour is about showing you my backyard and introducing you to my friends. I have lived on the wine coast since 1976 and count the best wine makers in the Vale as my mates; I want you to meet them so they can share their passion with you.


This is far from just another wine tour. If you love it half as much as I do, you're going to have an awesome day.

What You Get

What You’ll Experience

This tour is about me guiding you to the best wineries, distilleries, breweries and eateries in the Vale. Being a local, my hope is for you to feel like you are my guest and I am showing you my home. I love it here and want to share my passion of the Vale with you. • 9:30 am: I will pick you up at a central location within 1 hour of Moana. • 11 am: You will be guided to 1-2 wineries/breweries in McLaren Vale. I'd love to choose them for you but I am just as happy for you to choose. • 12:30pm: Lunch at place of your choice (or mine...). We will organise in-advance according to group's request. • 1:45pm: Let's do another winery or two. • 4:30 pm: Tour ends. I will drive you back to central location. If you're a large single group, let's chat in-advance so I can plan a day that best suits YOU. I have some awesome places that I'd love to suggest, but am just as happy to follow your itinerary (or maybe a combo of the 2).

Great day of wine tasting across McLaren Vale. Highlight was Zerella Wine tasting. Luke organised a full trip with variety of tastings and was a great communicator.
