Andy was a great taxi but other than transport didn't do much! The vibe was certainly created by the group and not the tour guide, even having to use our own phone to put on music. It would be great if at the end of each tasting we had 15 or 20 minutes to select a wine we really liked and drink it outside. I would of really liked commentary from Andy himself about the winery's or something extra than being just a taxi. Cheers
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed Andy’s driving, and we appreciate your suggestions regarding additional time at each winery and more commentary. Our tours are designed as wine experiences rather than party buses, and we need to balance the experience with arrival and departure commitments at each cellar door. Where time allows, guests are given an opportunity to browse and purchase wines they particularly enjoy, although our tour schedule generally doesn’t allow for additional time to sit and consume wine by the glass at each venue. In relation to music, our crew also need to be mindful that every group is made up of different guests, with different preferences. While we’re happy to accommodate music where appropriate, we don’t want to assume that everyone wants music playing throughout the journey. We also take on board your comments regarding commentary. Our guides have different styles, and while the focus is on providing a relaxed and enjoyable experience, we understand that some guests would appreciate more information about the wineries, wines and region along the way. We genuinely appreciate the feedback and will continue to look at ways we can enhance the experience while maintaining the structure and quality of our tours.
We got changed from 9:30am to 11:30am. It was suppose to be a half day wine tour which got changed into a mid day wine tour and were picked up by Andy at 11:35am.We weren’t allowed to play any music during our travels and weren’t told much about any wineries that we visited. Each winery was a $10-$15 wine tasting and no food was provided (4 total) only 1 cheese platter and 4 chocolates. The best thing about the experience were the other guests.
What a great day! Well spaced out between wineries and Greg our driver was such a great guy, so accomodating! Definitely recommend this tour!
Thanks Kristi; we appreciate the feedback!
Gregg was a great host and we went to a really good selection of venues all with quality products. Wine varieties we amazing. Special mention to Nocton for such a brilliant host, venue and wine selections and also to Every Man & His Dog for the chocolate and their gorgeous canine companion!
Great to have you join us, thank you!
Definitely have a decent breakfast !!… and be prepared to have lots of laughs with Laura at Nocton … she’s a hoot !
We were taken on the tour by Greg who was very informative and friendly. We were the only two on the tour so he took us to Richmond as well which was a nice extra experience. We loved every winery but our favourite was Every man & his dog & the wine &chocolate pairing. Highly recommend this tour.
Thanks very much, we're glad you enjoyed the experience.
Tour driver was great but wines were not that good.
The four wineries are very Durand a great eco. The tour guide Dave, very knowledgeable on Tassie history
Had so much fun enjoying the local wines in Tasmania!!! The food and chocolates was an extra bonus!!! Would do this again!!
