Wonderful

I had such a fantastic time on this wine tour! From start to finish, everything was well organised and ran smoothly. The wineries we visited were beautiful, each with its own unique atmosphere, and the wine selections were excellent. Our guide Craig was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. They shared great insights about the wines and the region without making it feel overwhelming, which I really appreciated. The day felt relaxed, fun, and a perfect mix of learning and just enjoying the scenery (and the wine!). It was also a great way to meet new people and try wines I wouldn’t normally pick myself. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun day out, whether you’re a wine lover or just want to try something different. I’d happily do it again!

Operator response

What a lovely review. We do put a lot of effort into making sure the itinerary of a tour is as good as it possibly can be. Craig is a wonderful guide and we are so happy you enjoyed the tour with him.

Hi Alan, thanks for the wonderful review. Jordan put a lot of effort into his tours. We love the flexability this tour gives people. You can do anything in the mornings and still visit a world class wine region in the afternoon!

One of the best tours we have taken - fun, enjoyable and great memories made!

My sister and I enjoy the half day small tours with Viator. This one was particularly enjoyable due to the areas visited and the wineries. Our operator was fun! He clearly enjoyed his job, which made this vist more fun!

Operator response

Hi Anita, thanks for the awesome review. Our half day afternoon tour is perfect if you are short on time but still want to tick off a visit to a world class wine region!

Great 1/2 day Wine Tasting & Coast Tour yesterday. Guide excellent with plenty of local knowledge. Also did the Taste of Barossa Premium Tour with this company a few days ago. Highly recommend. Well run, comfortable small coach on both tours. 5 stars.

Operator response

Thanks for the wonderful review for both the tours you did. They are both great tours and offer something completely different. Thanks for the 5 stars.

I wasn’t planning on wine...

I wasn’t planning on wine tasting in the area because I didn’t want to do it solo but I am so glad I decided that it was important for me to experience it. Our guide was fantastic and the small group was friendly and felt luck to have visited the cube and Glenelg, two stops outside the CBD that were on my wishlist to visit. It was a lovely afternoon and just the right amount of wine and right amount of time To get an understanding of what McLaren Vale has to offer.

More fun than u can poke a stick at

Booked this tour when I had a free afternoon in Adelaide and what a great way to see alot in a little time. Marty was a wealth of information and made our day worry free and most enjoyable. Great music with an impromptu sing along finished the day on a great high

Operator response

Hi Leah, Marty is a super fun guide! This afternoon tour is perfect for just having a relaxing morning yet still seeing some beautiful parts of South Australia..... and tasting some outstanding wines.
