Albert river winery History in the making. A heritage venue that captures the grandeur of our colonial past is on offer at Albert River Wines. Home to three former Queensland Premiers, the restaurant is located in what was Auchenflower House’s billiard room. Expect history, elegance and a relaxing dining with great wines. The glorious setting with its sweeping drive, the colonnaded veranda and undulating hills covered with vines will provide an immaculate setting for what is sure to be an amazing experience. We can lunch on the veranda over looking the vines.
163 Year old Historic homestead ‘Killowen’ is O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyards with extensive grounds that stretch along the banks of the Canungra Creek and the Alpaca Farm located on the property, so you can feed and walk an Alpaca through lush Vineyard grounds.
Mt Nathan Winery has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the finest wine maker's on the Gold Coast. The Gibson family first migrated to Australia in the 1850s. The family had a passion for wine making and this flourished through George Gibson. George founded the Central Coast Winery Pty Ltd in the 1970s with assistance from his son Peter. Together they experimented with varieties of winemaking from using traditional grape to assorted fruits and vegetables and honey.

Tour operator didn’t turn up!! We waited 45mins. Finally he responded to numerous calls. Said he wasn’t getting paid by Viator and therefore wouldn’t take us. I suggest Viator remove your 3rd party booking system with him as he is unreliable and unprofessional , I’m waiting for my refund from Viator .
We made reservation and payment thru Marriott Hotel, the travel agency confirmed the tour and payment, never picked us up, we tried many times to call but only an answer machine, I sent emails asking for an explanation and refund but nothing happen. Worst thing is that I received an email the day after asking if we enough the tour!! So I do not want to loose my money. My reservation number was 168703117 for May 19, 2023
Had a wonderful relaxed day. Delish cheese, wine, lunch and chocolate and plus shopping time, educated about country, thanks to our great tour gudie/driver Dale. What more could you want from this tour, well nothing, we had a fantastic day. Cheese Dianne and Pete D.
Terrible experience, paid for transport to pick up location only to find the trip was closed after contacting tour operator!!! Waste of a day and have not received my refund yet.
The operator didn’t notify us the tour was cancel until I msg them and ask abt the pick up point location. Tripadvisor didn’t refund my cancellation immediately until I email and check. This is my 1st time to use Tripadvisor to book tour and really bad experience. Not confident to book other trip via Tripadvisor.
The Wine Tour was cancelled, and no one notified my group. We waited at the assigned pick-up spot in Brisbane. When nobody came, I phoned Cooee Tours who were mystified by my booking. The good thing is that Trip Advisor refunded my money almost immediately. The bad thing, is my group was out $80 for our travel to the pick-up spot. Won't use Trip Advisor again.
Excellent choice of winery’s, really enjoyed all three. The Honey Wine at Mount Nathan Winery is to die for. A must do trip.
Hello Maggie, thank you for review. We glad you had a enjoy.
The winerys were beautiful places to relax and enjoy the food and company. Easy-going tour guide and chilled tour guests
Hello James, Great to here you had relaxing day.
I waited 2 1/2 hours to be Picked up at my hotel. I confirmed the pick up at my hotel with Frank the day before, who told me it would be an 8:30 AM pick up. When no one showed up I called the number of Cooee tours only to get an answering machine 4 x’s. Not so much as an email or call to find out my status during the time I was waiting. Very angry about this and will demand refund.
Hello Susan, Sorry to hear these. Yes you were on the list for pickup. I have spoken with driver and he went to ibis Brisbane to pickup you. Waited 15 mins and no one showed. He couldn't ring your number because it was overseas number. Office isn't open on Sunday's that why you got answering machine. Sorry you booked with Viator, so they have your money. You will have talk to them about refund.
Visiting The last two wineries on the tour which were the most informative gave more guidance to all types of wines.
Hello Michael, thanks for your review; it helps improve the tour. I will talk with Wineries about this.
