Paul is a great guide. He is very knowledgeable of the wines and the area. If you are looking for more than just a driver this is the tour to book.

Our staff are so much more than just a driver - it's our pride and joy to find amazingly knowledgeable guides who can help to unlock the secrets of wine, the regions, and the history for our guests. Happy to hear you appreciated Paul as a guide, and thanks very much for the great feedback.

Matt is an excellent tour guide and has great knowledge of Adelaide and the surrounding wine regions. He listened to us and tailored an itinerary which was super fun. We got to try lots of delicious wines at a number of lovely cellar doors.
