A wonderful day out

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough, if you're looking to visit some wineries. Each winery had it's own distinct character and I loved the fact a brewery was included, where we were provided with a really nice lunch of our own choosing. Maggie was a delightful guide, entertaining and informative. With a great playlist for the trip home.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m so glad you enjoyed the variety of wineries, each with their own character, and that the brewery stop and relaxed lunch were a highlight as well. Maggie will be thrilled to hear your kind words. She has a great way of making the day both entertaining and informative, and I love that you enjoyed the playlist on the way home too. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another small-group premium experience soon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Day Out With Friends!

We had the most incredible experience on this wine tour! From the moment we hopped on the bus, the vibe was fun, relaxed, and perfectly organised. Each winery had its own charm, with beautiful views, delicious wines, and super friendly staff who made the tastings both informative and enjoyable. Our guide was amazing — upbeat, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly while keeping the energy high. We never felt rushed, and there was just the right amount of time to soak in each stop, snap photos, and enjoy a few laughs with friends. The whole day felt like a mini getaway filled with great wine, great food, and even better company. If you’re looking for a memorable day out with friends, this tour is an absolute must! We can’t wait to do it again. 🍷✨

Mc Laren vale experience

We booked our tour with Liz, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Her new driver Tim joined us as he’ll soon be driving for her, and together they made the day feel relaxed, fun, and really personal. The wineries they chose were fantastic, and the stop at the brewery was the perfect change of pace for my husband. It ended up being just the two of us, which made the whole experience feel truly tailored and exactly how a wine tour should be. Highly recommend to everyone!

Operator response

Great experience.

Great trip, would have liked more time to have a wander around each of the wineries however the actual wine tasting took up a lot of the time. Nonetheless we would highly recommend this trip to all.

Operator response

Thanks Caroline for leaving this review. I am so glad you had a great experience on the McLaren Vale Wine and Brew Tour. I do pace the tour to allow some relaxing time but I understand all the wineries are fabulous and I can completely understand you wanting to spend more time at each one! I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip here in Australia.

Best McLaren Vale tour including Down the Rabbit Hole Winery!

Love this tour. Went with my husband and we were both very impressed with the whole experience. Liz was so friendly and safe driver, which was important to me because I'm not a good passenger! Down the Rabbit Hole winery was the highlight, that and darenberg too. Loved both these stops. Lunch was delicious and filling. Lots of great memories made on this tour thanks Liz!

So glad to hear you loved this McLaren Vale wine tour. Thanks so much for sharing! Wishing you all the best as you travel back home.

Fantastic tour with great guide and locations visited. Highly recommend.

Discover Adelaide gave us a great tour of McLaren Vale!

I went with my wife on this tour. We both love wine and I also love beer. This McLaren Vale wine and brew tour was so great! It was a relaxing day among the vines and we saw some unique places! I loved the d'Arenberg cube and my wife thought Down the Rabbit Hole was sensational. We were in a small group of only 5 people, and Liz our guide was so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a great day out and you don't need to worry about paying for anything as you go. All the tastings are included and even a beer with lunch was included! Thanks Discover Adelaide!
