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.

Luke was incredibly accommodating, tailoring the itinerary to suit our preferences while offering helpful suggestions along the way. His personalized approach and insider knowledge truly elevated the experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and seamless wine tour in this beautiful region!

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.

Thank you to Luke and his sidekick Nash for an amazing day spent travelling around the McLaren Vale wineries. Luke provided us with great suggestions to visit and appreciate the wines from the region. We loved the "CUBE" De Arenberg, an awesome wood fired pizza lunch and tastings at McCarthy's Orchard then onto to tastings at Curtis Wines and a walk around of the vineyard to finish off. Lastly we visited the Penny Red Brewery for a nice cleansing ale.
Our group had an amazing day with Luke touring the region and then to be dropped off back at your accommodation in the city was amazing.
Thanks Luke and Nash
