A private wine tour means it’s just your group on board. No strangers, no fixed timetable. We pick you up from your door, plan 3 to 5 cellar doors around your group, and get everyone home safely. Nobody has to be the designated driver.
What private means with us
- Just your group, from 2 to 56 people.
- Door-to-door pick-up anywhere from Lara and Bannockburn to Torquay and in between, at about 10 to 10:30 am. We can start a little earlier or later to suit you.
- Wineries chosen for your group and booked ahead, so there’s no waiting around at the cellar door.
- A local host who knows the winemakers. Our founder David has 30 years in the wine industry.
- Every tour is tailored. Tell us the occasion, the wines you like and how relaxed or lively you want the day, and we’ll plan it around that.
Where we go
Most private tours head to the Bellarine Peninsula, home to cellar doors like Scotchman’s Hill, Jack Rabbit, Leura Park, Bellarine Estate and Terindah Estate. We also run tours to the Moorabool Valley and the wineries around Geelong. Not sure which region suits you? Ask us and we’ll recommend one for your group.
