Overall we did have a good day. Unfortunately for us we had a very, very new tour guide, appreciate they have to start somewhere but it was very evident this was new if not very first day… They didn’t have any wine knowledge, read off notes on a phone and took multiple wrong turns even with maps directing. I’ve done many wine tours around the world and this was a first to have a guide that didn’t know anything about wine so I feel like we missed out on a lot. There was a bit of confusion throughout the day, told going to a winery then ended up at Maggie beer with no explanation, assumed a tasting but just walked inside and that was it. We had no idea what we were doing there.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re sorry the tour did not meet the standard we aim to provide. We appreciate your comments regarding the guide’s wine knowledge and communication, and will use this feedback to improve the experience for our guests.
We had a fantastic experience. The wineries provided great presentations on their wine tasting. The places we were taken to, where boutique wineries not the mass produced type found in large retail outlets. The lunch provided was lovely in a beautiful setting. Made a lot of acquaintances with people from all over the world which made it a truly cultural experience. Would recommend it for locals for this reason. Deep was a fantastic guide.
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the boutique wineries, lunch, and meeting fellow travellers from around the world. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Deep!
Spent the day in the Barossa with Deep and two other tour participants. As there were only 3 of us Deep drove us around in a car, which made the tour more intimate. The four wineries were top notch - I particularly enjoyed Kies winery. Would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the intimate tour with Deep and loved the wineries, especially Kies. We really appreciate the recommendation!
Just wanted to say a huge thanks for Saturday's tour as it was so amazing. Everyone had the best time. You all do an amazing job with communication pre booking and on the day with pick ups etc. Makes it all go very smoothly. The whole day was so good with a good variety of wineries and Maggie beers. Maddie our tour guide was fabulous with loads of info and fun along the way and kept us all on track. The only feedback I would give is re the last winery Chateau Tanunda and the presenter was very lack lustre and not at all welcoming or fun and the wine wasn't very good either. All the other wineries were amazing and delicious wine. Look forward to booking with you again for our next adventure. Regards and thanks Jodie Cook
Thank you so much, Jodie, for such a wonderful and detailed review. We’re so glad you and your group had a fantastic day and enjoyed the wineries, Maggie Beer and the fun along the way with Maddie. We really appreciate your honest feedback about Chateau Tanunda and will pass this on to the team. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next adventure!
Paul, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day, and we appreciated his enthusiasm. However, the tour felt a little rushed, and I was expecting a more wine-focused experience. Although there were five stops (including feeding the horses), there were only two wine tastings. I had expected more winery visits and more opportunities to taste different wines. The first stop was at Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop, where we only had time to browse the shop. We then visited the Barossa Valley Chocolate Company, which was an unexpected stop for many guests. One guest even chose to stay on the bus rather than visit the chocolate shop, as it was not what she had expected from a wine tour. We then continued to Château Tanunda for a wine tasting. Lunch was at Kies Family Wines, where we also had another wine tasting, and the day finished with free time in the German town of Hahndorf. Overall, it was an enjoyable day, but it felt more like a Barossa Valley sightseeing tour than a dedicated wine tour. If you’re booking this tour mainly for wine tasting, it’s worth knowing that the itinerary includes several non-wine attractions. This tour may be better suited to people who enjoy a relaxed sightseeing experience rather than those looking for a more immersive wine tour.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Paul’s friendly and knowledgeable approach throughout the day. We’re sorry the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations, particularly regarding the number of wine tastings and the pace of the itinerary. Our tours are designed to showcase a mix of the Barossa Valley’s wineries, local producers and attractions, but we understand that guests looking for a more wine-focused experience may prefer additional winery stops. We appreciate your comments and will take them on board as we continue to improve how we communicate the tour itinerary and experience to our guests.
