AI summary of 34 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the tour's well-paced itinerary and the knowledgeable, friendly guides who provide engaging commentary about the region's history and wine producers. The most frequently mentioned highlights include the morning animal feeding experience at the farmstead, tastings at three small family-owned wineries, the Italian lunch at the olive farm, chocolate and local produce stops, and the convenient pick-up and drop-off service. The tour's focus on boutique, authentic producers and its blend of wine tasting with other experiences such as scenic views and farm activities set it apart from standard wine tours. No significant criticisms emerge from the reviews, though one traveller suggested the possibility of including a cheese or dairy maker amongst the stops.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
My husband and I loved the Hidden Gems boutique wine tour. The small group made it personal, Dani looked after us well with enough time at each stop, and the wineries, farm breakfast, chocolate stop and lunch were all great.
We loved our day with Greg and it was great value. All three wineries were excellent, especially the last one with its funny host, and the morning scones, lunch, chocolate factory and olive oil tasting were all delicious. My only small idea would be swapping the first stop for a cheese or dairy maker.
We did the full day tour and it was fantastic. Feeding the emus was fab, we tasted loads of wine and lunch at the olive farm was great, with an informative, enthusiastic guide.
An amazing trip with Dani, starting at the farm with morning tea, then chocolate and olive oil tasting and plenty of wine. It was more than a basic wine tour, in a small group with a very knowledgeable guide.
My 83-year-old mother and I did the Hidden Gems tour with Dani, a helpful, friendly guide, and loved the mix of wine, food and local sights. Ziggy was great when booking and advising whether it would suit Mum.
An amazing day, from feeding alpacas and emus to tasting lovely wines. Our guide Greg knew the region inside out and shared great snippets along the way.
