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
