Best Wine Tour in Mclaren Vale
Luke was an amazingly interesting host and his wine knowledge was excellent. The wineries and brewery were really good. I highly recommend Luke's Gone AWOL wineries tours.

Description
Good to Know
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.
*Onkaparinga Business Awards
I will guide you the whole day. I will take photos and share them with you at the end of the day.
Lunch
Lunch is part of the tour but not included in the price. When I contact you, I will provide you with options. You may just wish to bring lunch, or you may want to go somewhere quite fancy; I'm easy.
Wine tastings fees (usually $15 but free if you buy a bottle).
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).

Restaurants/cafes will be discussed in-advance with guests to fit their needs.

Awesome day!
One of the best tours ever done. We did a private tour for 6, and it was a fantastic day. Luke's tour suggestions were exactly what we were after. His passion and knowledge of the area and local vineyards and breweries/distilleries was amazing.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m really glad to hear you all had such a great day—it was a pleasure showing you around. I had a fantastic time with your group, and I’m stoked the tour hit the mark for what you were after. Always great sharing some of my favourite spots and local gems with people who really appreciate them. Hope to see you again sometime for another round of good vibes, great drinks, and a few more stories! Nache sends his love.

Wine tasting in McLaren Vale.
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.
