McLaren Vale Winery Lille gruppetur med vinsmagning og frokost

We did this trip with Bruce as a driver and guide. Bruce was articulate and very knowledgable in every aspect of this tour. The lunch and various wineries were visited and many a wine tasting. I would highly recommend this tour to all fellow Australians and overseas visitors.

We had such a great day visiting wineries that we would often not think to stop and visit. Lunch was delicious and all the staff at the seller doors were so helpful, knowledgeable and good fun. Vince, our guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly and we really enjoyed such a beautiful, relaxing day.

Thoroughly enjoy the day with Mike who was both knowledgeable and entertaining. We never felt rushed or pushed by Mike or the Wineries visited. Lunch was excellent and plentiful.

I am giving this review a 2 only because i enjoyed the wineries. If i was simply reviewing the wineries it would be 5 stars. All the staff were friendly and the tastings weren't rushed. If i was rating this purely off the tour guide (and one of the bosses of the company), my review would be 0 which pains me as I like to support local tourist operators. I have done lots of tours across Australia and the world (winery and non-wine related) and i've never been so offended within the first minute of a tour. Nowhere in the tour description did it mention that no smoking was allowed on the tour. I understand not on the transport and to smoke in designated areas while on tour, but Danny made it clear that it wasn't acceptable for me to have one during the day and made me commit to not smoking the entire day while i was out. Danny was aggressive in how he asked this and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and to be honest it completely ruined the day for me. I didn't want to get back in the car with Danny every time a tasting stopped. There was no going back from that moment. Many people have commented on Danny's commentary, but I felt like i was being talked at most of the day rather than being engaged in a conversation. When Danny suggested we could get dropped off in Glenelg on the way back (came to find out it's closer to his home) he was defensive when I said we weren't interested in his recommendation. "it was just a suggestion". There were a few comments that were almost verging on racist. Please update your tour description to include no smoking on the tour all day so that you aren't putting new rules on your guests on the day and people are aware of what they're paying for. This wasn't a cheap tour. If you're unhappy with something, please be polite to your guests about it and don't make them feel uncomfortable. I had a small nap on the way back to Adelaide and pretended to be asleep for the whole journey, so I didn't have to engage in any further conversation.

Perfect day out , just the right amount of time spent at each winery, driver Danny was a hoot,.

My wife and I did this tour on the 18th of April 2026. The time spent in the wineries was very enjoyable, all the staff were friendly, explained a lot about their history and the wines they produce, wines were nice and the lunch was ok. That accounted for about half of the time spent on the tour, the other half was spent in the car with our driver/tour leader. He also shared an enormous amount of information hardly taking a breath. Unfortunately 90% was about himself and his exploits . Obviously this was not enjoyable at all. For this reason I can only rate the tour as just average.

Absolutely awesome day with Danny our driver who was very knowledgeable on the area as well as guiding us to the best wineries. Love that he didn't choose the main player wineries and nothing was ever a rush with plenty of wine tastings at each stop including a great lunch platter. Nice small group. Highly recommend!

We were very impressed with our whole tour and knowledgeable driver - Bruce! From pick up to a short informative drive around central Adelaide city and then onto and into the hills surrounding, we were fed excellent tidbits and local history the whole day. Throw in some German sausage in Hahndorf, a few wine tastings and some tame Dad jokes you have a great day out! Thank you ! From today’s 🥝 Kiwis

Danny, our driver provided us with a great depth of knowledge on topics of history, wine and the areas we visited. Friendly, obliging and professional in providing us with the best experience for our tour of McLaren Vale region. We visited 4 vineyards as a small group, with attentive passionate people, who served us the tastings. A variety of wines of different varietals that we hadn’t tasted before. Fantastic day - thanks to Danny.

We had a really wonderful time visiting the McLaren Vale with a very small group and an excellent guide. We visited four different wineries and had an excellent lunch. The winery hosts were very informative. We learned a lot and had a great time!
