Mt Barker Grape Escape

Do yourself a favour and book onto this tour - you will be richer for the experience. From the moment our lovely tour guide Sue picked us up the whole day was fun. Sue is a local and very knowledgeable about the Mt Barker region which made for an interesting ride between four wineries. Forget steel and glass cellar doors with overpriced souvenirs - you won’t be going there. You will go to four family run vineyards in beautiful settings and you will taste a huge array of fabulous wines. Pace yourself - you won’t want to miss out by peaking too early and this is a big day of tasting for all of us wine lovers! Oh and take your credit card - you will probably come home with some great wine which Sue will happily put into the back of the bus so you have your hands free for more tastings. This is arguably the best wine tour we have ever been on and we highly recommend it,

This was such a relaxing way to sample wines from the Mt Barker wineries. We visited 4 wineries and the tour guide described points of interest along the way and then introduced us to the wine maker or representative at each of the wineries. We were given a good introduction to the particular wine making process used and each winery offered almost their entire range for sampling (although the guide advised us to keep our selection to a reasonable number at West Cape Howe wines where their selection is vast). One of the things I liked best was not having to worry about driving or directions. The whole day just unfolded in front of me. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

My wife and I incorrectly booked our tour on the wrong date and for the date we wanted to go BBT did not do tours on that date. But after a phone call they arranged for us to do the tour on our required date, I.e they fitted us in regardless. The tour was great and very personalised. Sue was absolutely a great host, and we enjoyed all the venues visited, would do it again on one of the other tours when next in town.
