The lunch was exceptionally good and Inez's knowledge of the area was excellent. She customised the tour to suit us and the other couple on the tour. I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting SA. read less

Danny took the time to have everything set up at the first three wineries that we visited so everything was waiting for us; and then after talking to us about what we liked and didn't he pulled together two more stops after lunch with amazing wine that was just what we were looking for. read less

My Wife and I booked the tour from interstate with little knowledge of Adelaide and the surrounding regions. Turns out our pick was all that we could have asked for and more. Great little family tour company that was easy to book and contact (we were staying in a brand new hotel which wasn't on their list of pick up locations, but no hassle in arranging pick up at the new location). Also we booked as a couple on a "small group" tour however we were the only two so it turned into a very personalized and private tour with no pressure implied being only the two of us.

Danny was our tour guide and was happy to share any and all his knowledge about Adelaide & and the coastal towns on the scenic drive to McLaren Vale, including dinner recommendations.

Within McLaren Vale we tasted at 4 wineries (Shingleback, Hugh Hamilton, Leconfield/Richard Hamilton & Penny's Hill) and a HUGE!! grazing plater lunch at Leconfield with many featured local produces. During the driving we also drove past the d'Arenberg Cube which Danny was able to provide history and many personal stories of the company and family. This was matched with knowledge and commentary throughout the rest of the tour which was light and unobtrusive. It was also very easy to see that he is well liked and has a great relationship with all the wineries that we visited. During the day we were not pressured and Danny was open to changes in itinerary if there was something that took us by fancy.

Overall McLaren Vale is a great area close to the city with great wine and a day with Danny and his company has been a great experience that we will never forget. read less

There were only 4 of us on the tour so it was a very relaxed and enjoyable day.
We went to 2 wineries, Nepenthe and Sidewood. JJ at Nepenthe was excellent, Sidewood not so. They were too busy and only had one staff member working who wasn't able to spend any time with us, which was disappointing.
Lunch at the German Hotel in Hahndorf was excellent.
It was a lovely day and I would recommend this trip to anyone who has a free day whilst in Adelaide read less

Starting the day with detour via Glenelg and the beach’s surrounding with some beautiful view and thyme we arrived at the wineries. At each winery we were treated with small snacks and a huge variety of wines to taste great for both white or red lovers or like us people who love both.
With a lunch stop with an amazing antipasto plate accompanied by our choice of wine.
Finishing the day with a tour around the Main Street of Adelaide.
We had a fantastic time and probably bought and drank more wine then we needed. read less

Innez, part owner of the business, was a great host and travelling with only 2 other passengers we were all treated royally! Great choice of wineries and information on the journey. Extras included a visit to a cheese shop and then a lovely lunch at Winera in Angaston before a finish at Seppeltsfield and the Winery. These are specialists in small group travel and give a much better experience than the "big bus tours". Felt like one of the family by the time we parted company at the end of a fabulous day. read less

His knowledge of the state's history was fascinating. We'd undertaken the Hahndorf tour with Adelaide's Top Food & Wine Tours two days before, this one conducted by Danny, an employee of the firm. Would give this outing a five star rating also. read less

We were picked up punctually at 9am by Danny and driven to McLaren Vale and along the Fleurieu Peninsula. Danny who has a great knowledge of the history of the area provided us with a very in depth commentary which was most enjoyable. Due to Danny's relationship with the host of cellar doors, we were made feel very special. After enjoying 4 wineries and a lovely relaxed lunch, we enjoyed a coffee at the local chocolate factory and sightseeing before being dropped at our Hotel. Danny made the day with his commentary and great sense of humour. I would truly recommend doing this tour with Danny. read less

The lunch was gourmet and delicious. Our only suggestion is to bring some snacks or money to purchase them along the way like we did.
Our favourite winery was Fox Creek for taste, but Wirra Wirra was the best tasting, as our server was very friendly, knowledgeable and generous! read less

We went further to two wineries and a chocolate factory before stopping for an outstanding lunch at Hahndorf. After a bit of store-hopping in Hahndorf we made a quick stop at a jam factory, and then returned to Adelaide 8 hours later. The whole experience was very well planned and made all the more amazing by our guide Innez, who was very knowledgeable and kind. Her Mercedes van was very comfortable and even had a fridge in the back for our cheese, wine and chocolates. I would recommend this itinerary for all visitors to Adelaide! read less

It helped that it was really a small group as my wife had some walking difficulty.

We had a lovely time with Inez who was friendly, helpful and informative. Great fun wine tasting at Bird in Hand and Nepenthe vineyards (Mark, the host at Nepenthe was chatty and informative), and visiting the cheese and chocolate establishments. Although there was no pressure to purchase anything, we could not help it as the produce was good! Lovely views from Mount Lofty. Nice apple strudel at Handorf.

The van is very comfortable and clean, with a handy cooler just in case you purchase some stuff that requires keeping.

Inez is very flexible, speaks clearly and caters to your pace of walking. We would be happy to do another round with Inez and would recommend this tour. read less

It's a family business & Danny knows his way around a few selective vineyards - he's been doing it for 12years. Lots of general knowledge as well as about the wineries. So enjoyable & a gorgeous lunch as well - dropped back at our accommodation in Adelaide after a great day with good company. Thanks Danny.
