Peter was so much fun. Great guide with great knowledge and lots of fun facts. Adaptable and very easy. Highly recommend the day tour.
# 🍷 The Wine Tour 🍷 We started the day all classy and bright, “We’ll just have a taste!” — yeah, bloody right! We swirled and we sniffed, like we had a clue, “Hints of oak?” — *Nah mate, just pour me two!* 😂 First winery down, we’re feeling refined, Second one in… we’ve all lost our minds. By number three, we’re buying a case, And someone’s got crackers all over their face. “Just one more glass!” was heard from the crew, Then suddenly someone had lost a shoe! 👠 The quiet one’s dancing, the loud one’s asleep, And someone’s spilling secrets too deep. 🤫 We came for the wine, the views and the cheer, But somehow spent half of next month’s pay here. We boarded the bus with bottles galore, Then yelled at the driver — **“ONE WINERY MORE!”** Tomorrow we’ll wake with a thumping headache, Check our bank and call it a mistake. But when someone asks, “Would you do it again?” We’ll raise up our glasses and shout— **“WHEN?!”** 🍷🥂😂
Andrew, our guide, was great! The wineries and wines were excellent and we liked that they were smaller & family owned. The Wicked Cheese was very tasty! Our pizza lunch was so good too! We really enjoyed the day and everything ran on time!
Peter was an amazing host taking us to great wineries and explaining all the history and all the interesting facts as we drive around. We were extremely well looked after. A very personalised tour, felt like the only two there. Very very highly recommended.
Such a great day out with Peter, we were fortunate to have the tour to ourselves. We went to some beautiful wineries. The best by far was Nocton, attentive and so fun was the beautiful human that looked after us there. So great to have a break from the wines with time in Richmond, such a beautiful quaint town. Then another tasting before heading back to Hobart stopping for a great photo opportunity on the way back. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone without a car who loves wine and gorgeous old towns.
What a great way to experience Hobart's food & wine region. Peter is a fantastic guide who has built strong relationships with the owners/managers of these boutique locations & was very knowledgeable about the area. We got to visit a four different wineries with generous tastings, a cheese factory, had a lovely pizza for lunch. We even had time for a one hour stop with free time to explore the town of Richmond & a bonus stop at a lookout with an amazing view of Hobart. Highly recommend.
Peter took us on an adventure that was fun, factual and a selection of four great wineries
This wineries tour with Peter was amazing, great guide, recommend to everyone
We had the best time on our tour, it was tailored to us as we're local to Hobart and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a great day out
Our wine tour with @boutiquewinetours was a great success. Peter was both personable and knowledgeable, offering stories and insights about local history and events throughout our time together. He is a 9th generation Tasmanian and certainly knows his way around! He met the small group of six of us of us in Hobart on time and transported us through the Coal River Valley to four wineries (one where we had homemade pizza for lunch). Each selected winery had a nice array of wines to taste and provided us with enough time together to chat casually and get to know one another without feeling rushed. At tour’s end, Peter personalized our drop-offs, providing two of our group a trip to the airport and us to our hotel location just west of our downtown drop off. I left my bag with my phone and wallet in the van, not realizing it until we got back to our room. Peter took the time and effort to drive back to our hotel and return my things on his own dime. Overall, a great tour on a beautiful day with a good guy!
