Review of the Barossa wine tour from Adelaide, with three family wineries, lunch, valley views, hotel pickup, and practical booking advice.

“The Barossa Experience tour is a fantastic way to spend the day. We visited lovely wineries, had a perfect lunch at Murray Street and then were lucky enough to add activities to suit our three generation family group. Our guide Vin, was friendly, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. He made sure that we had a great time.”

Review of the Mount Tamborine wine tour from Brisbane or Gold Coast, covering tastings, lunch, guides, transport, value, and practical tips.

“There were a couple nice views and lunch was the highlight. The wines were young and watery. Great for a novice to discover things from whites to red Shiraz to champagne. Our driver did most of the tastings as the people at the wine places were too lazy to do it themselves. The last stop was liquors and they were quite sweet if that’s your thing.”

Review of the Mount Tamborine wine tour from Brisbane or Gold Coast, with four tastings, winery lunch, small groups, and practical tips.

“Not what I was expecting. Two of the three wineries just basically poured samples and did not talk about their wines, winery or anything. More like a land based booze cruise. Save yourself some money and just go buy a bottle of wine that you like and drink it in the comfort of your own surroundings.”

The wineries were great we particularly enjoyed chapel hill. And the day ended with Glenelg beach where we choose to stay and watch the sunset from the fabulous beach bar recommended by Craig. We also had a bonus stop at the cube very interesting…”
