Highly recommend this tour - such a professional and intimate tour of McClaren Vale. Amazing hosts, food and opportunity to meet and understand local life. Highlights - gourmet meal in a beautiful heritage home and a bush walk with a koala sighting.
Hi Suzanne, thank you for taking the time to post this amazing review, and more importantly choosing Off Piste Tours! Such a thrilling day that really had it all! Warm, sunny day, koalas, fun wine tasting at The Wonder Room and lunch, how good was that?! Imogen cooks up and absolute storm, right? The private setting is so relaxing and a chance to get away from the crowds and completely unwind. We're so happy you both enjoyed the day, always special to have folk from Darwin onboard! Thanks again and happy new year. Warm regards, Ben
