Great experience with John.

John is a super host. We appreciated his communication before the trip, including recommendations, and also appreciated his flexibility. On the day of the tour he was a superb host, very friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up wanting to stay later, which he happily accommodated. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John.

Truly Outstanding in Every Way-Five Star Plus

We questioned whether to spend the extra money on a private wine tour. We were not disappointed in our decision. John Angel was warm, personable, professional, and knowledgeable. We highly recommend taking this tour with John. Not only did we have a great day with John, he also provided us with invaluable advice concerning our trip through southwest Australia and New Zealand.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind review Not only did we also enjoy the tour and your company, it was a great pleasure to assist you with the upcoming New Zealand holiday (as you know we had only just returned from our NZ Wine adventure). We are so pleased that you enjoyed your day. Sincerely hope to see you again if ever you tour 'Down Under'...... Kindest regards John

Wonderful day with John

He is full of knowledge - a veteran of the wine industry. Really knew where to go. Travel time felt short because it was so interesting hearing his opinions and history of the region.

Highly recommend John

We had a fantastic day with John. He was a great guy that would be fun to just go have a beer with. But he was very knowledgeable about wine having been in the industry. He will take you to places that are fantastic that you would not find on your own.

Operator response

Thank you for your positive review, being a 'flexible' wine tour offers guests to experience so much more. Hope to see you again some time soon.

Great trip with an excellent and knowledgeable guide.

A really great trip to McLaren Vale. John was an excellent guide providing a lot of information and history of the area, the wines and some general Australian history thrown in for good measure. The lunch at Salopian was superb, so good we spent too much time there and missed out on our last planned winery as a result! The wineries we did visit (Oliver's & Coriole), provided a tasting of some lovely wines, predominantly reds at our request. Comfortable BMW 5 series car.

Operator response

Hi Phil, Thank you for your positive review. So pleased you enjoyed your day touring to some of the best of McLaren Vale. I remember the day well and hearing from you all how much you enjoyed your lunch at the Salopian Inn. So looking forward to your next trip to Adelaide where we can continue to show you the best of our other wine regions. Kind regards and see you soon! John

Finding wine gems in McLaren Vale

Wonderful day spent visiting wineries in the McLaren Vale. John was a knowledgeable host and accommodated all our requests. The wineries he selected met our requirements perfectly. We enjoyed learning about the wines in the region and tasted some spectacular wines. John is a great communicator and we knew exactly what to expect throughout the day. Highly recommend John and Best Wine Tours if you are in the area.

Terrific tour

Really enjoyable afternoon with the driver/guide John. Visited great wineries and tasted wonderful shiraz, grenache and a number of wines made from less known Italian grape types. Terrific tour!

Don't Miss It!

Spent a fantastic day touring McLaren Vale with John last week. No better man to describe the wineries in the region and bring them to life. His knowledge on the local region is second to none and will tailor the trip that bet suits you. Also the car was a perfect way to get around the area for a small group. Thanks again, see you next time

Operator response

Thank you so much Richard for this fantastic review. We believe we offer great value for money with our private wine tours - going to where you wish to go, but with an experienced guide to ensure you see the best. Hope to see you back for another tour. Can't wait to do it all again maybe to another of Adelaide's premium wine growing regions See you soon Kind regards John

We had a lovely day out with John who shared his knowledge of the region, taking us to come excellent wineries and a delicious lunch at Salopian Inn. John arrived on time and was a pleasure to spend the day with.
