“Great day, great host, great wines!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

Hada fabulous day in the Margaret River on this tour with Zeek. He picked us up promptly from Busselton, and took us to several wineries. Was great that Zeek asked us what types of wines we liked, and then formulated the best itinerary for wineries to stop at based on our preferences! Lunch was a fantastic fine dining experience at Laurence Wines, oevrlooking the rose garden and dam! Would definately recommend!

“Fantastic way to experience the wineries and other attractions of Margaret River.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We toured with Sieg. He was excited to show us some less than well known wineries. He listened to our completely conflicting list of "wants" from the tour and still managed to go above and beyond. It was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon. He connected us with a winery that would ship a mixed case of wine (from different wineries) for us, gave great restaurant suggestions, and brought us to an amazing bakery (that only the locals know about) where we bought bread to accompany the olive oil we purchased. Sieg truly loves what he does and it shows! At no point was there pressure to move on to the next winery or pressure to buy.

“Such a great day - will recommend the tour to anyone”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

My dad, sister and myself attended a wine tour with "taste of the south" today. I did book the tour because they noted they offer tours in German and as my dad and sister were visiting me from Germany I thought this was the perfect wine tour, which it was. The communication prior to the tour was very good. We did get picked up on time and in a new, air conditioned van. Zig the owner and our tour guide actually had the day off, but because he is also German and was looking forward to having some German guest to talk to, decided to drive us especially. We went to five "beautiful" wineries had a great lunch at Flutes Restaurant and visited the olive oil factory and he even drove us to a local bakery to get some freshly baked German bread.
Zig was very accommodating and his local knowledge with the vineyards is great. He has a great relationship with the staff and owners from the different vineyards. We had such a
memorable day and my family and I will recommend the tours to any of my friends in Australia and Germany. Vielen Dank Siegbert und Sabine

Guten Tag Susi,
Showing off the area is what we do best – we really enjoy being part of creating fun memories of a memorable time and when our guests talk about the day when they are back home !
Come back and we will go taste some Riesling ...
Auf Wiedersehen !

“Best of The South Wine Tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

My partner and I had never been on a proper winery tour before, but this one exceeded our expectations.
We were picked up from our accommodation promptly in a very clean and comfortable air conditioned van by our lovely guide, Zig. We did the tour on a Wednesday, and would definitely recommend doing a tour mid-week to avoid large crowds at the wineries.
My partner enjoys red and I, white. But this wasn't a problem and by the end of the tour we both developed an appreciation for both red and whites...and fortified wines.
The tour was very personal and we loved each and every winery we visited.
Zig had a great rapport with the staff at each winery and we were introduced to some colourful characters along the way.
We never felt rushed to finish up and move onto the next place, which made the experience very enjoyable and relaxing. Zig did a great job of letting us experience each winery independently, and was ready to take us to the next destination with much enthusiasm. It is obvious that Zig is passionate about his job as a guide and this really strengthened the quality of customer service that we recieved. He was always keen to hear our feedback too.
Zig shared with us some other personal recommendations and offered for us to get in contact if we needed any info.
One small criticism is that lunch was more of a snack, but what we did have was fresh and delicious.
Overall, we had a fantastic, personal experience with Taste of the South Wine Tours and we will be recommending it to anyone who travels to the Margaret River wine region.
Next time we head that way, we will be booking ourselves another tour for sure!
Thanks for a memorable experience Zig! Mark and Sascha

Dear Mark and Sascha,

glad there are plenty of wineries in the region so we can show off the hidden treasures and let you experience all those different vineyards and wines !

Always on the lookout to discover new places, research new venues, add different locations we have been busy the last 2,3 weeks ... and can send you an update about lunch : as of last Saturday we also visit another eating place : beautiful Flutes Restaurant. The platter is full of delicious choices, ensuring you will not leave the table hungry !

At the moment we choose from four different restaurants – so make sure when you come back, to let us know where you have been and we arrange for more vineyards to discover and a yummy lunch too at another place !

See you –
Sabine and Zig
