Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked the wine tour online and didn't really give it much thought when booking, so truth be told wasn't expecting much. However I was delighted with the tour. A very professional and friendly company.
Catherine texted me the day before to confirm everything. On the day Catherine, the driver arrived a couple of minutes early(so no waiting around - which was great) and drove us to 3 wineries She managed to get the other couple and ourselves to become quite chatty. We did the 1/2 day afternoon tour and it was great. Might have been a bit tipsy by the end - but that's why you book a wine tour so you don't have to drive. She had quite a bit of knowledge of the area obviously and my only regret was that it was too short - but it was a shade over 4 hours and dropped right back to our accommodation for then night. I might add that Catherine was a very friendly person and very professional, you couldn't help but like her.
I'm looking forward to returning to Orange and doing another tour with Orange wine tours to visit some more wineries in the region.

Myself and my partner booked a half day tour in September. Our guide Katherine was amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeably about the area. We visited three fantastic wineries which were all unique. The bus was had aircon and we were provided with snacks and water. We had the most amazing time and would happily recommend Orange Wine Tours to our friends.

Had a great day visiting 4 wineries in the Orange region and an iconic lunch spot. Catherine was the perfect guide, setting the tone early by getting participants to introduce themselves and making everyone feel relaxed with her energy and enthusiasm. The tour highlight came early with a visit to Orange Mountain Estate where winemaker Terry took us on a tour of the winery followed by a great tasting in a newly designed tasting room. Terry was happy to talk about anything and everything about his and his family's experience in the industry which gave us some fascinating insights. And the wine was superb. The rest of the day was filled with visits to a smaller producer in a truly beautiful setting, and some of the oldest and best established wineries in the region. We were tired by the end but overall had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Catherine was an amazing host who went above and beyond to provide us with a tour on the ANZAC day public holiday. She made a special search to find places that were open for us, and was really friendly, knowledgeable and thoughtful as a guide. Thank you Catherine!

We had a fabulous half day tour with Catherine. She picked us up right on time and was friendly and shared information about herself and the Orange area. We went to three lovely wineries, and enjoyed the afternoon immensely.

I cannot recommend Catherine and Orange Wine Tours highly enough!! We regularly visit Orange and ALWAYS go with Orange Wine Tours. I just like the service-- honest, friendly, down-to-earth, a side of humour.
The quality and level of service is just exceptional. The organisation and communication is fantastic-- I was sent a text the night before what time pick-up would be so I wasn't left waiting and the bus pulled up to our accomodation on time.
Catherine herself really goes above and beyond to make guests feel right at home. We recently indulged in a private tour with Catherine and you'd think it'd be awkward with a guide but you feel right at home like she's an old friend! She knows when to be around and when to let you enjoy at your own pace. She really is such a beautiful, friendly and accomodating guide; knowledgable without being pompous about it. You can have a good joke with her too! She really takes the time to get to know you, your palate and always has great suggestions. The day was really well paced and the lunch spots are always awesome. The wineries are all carefully selected and curated based on region, style, approach etc and we learn a bit more every time. We've been on all their tours at least once but our favourite is the Lucknow Loop.
The buses are always clean and in immaculate condition. We did a private tour with Catherine recently, but have also done other tours on a 42 degree day with 10 people in the group-- it was still amazing!! I've sent a numerous clients and assosciates for tours with Orange Wine Tours, can't wait for our next trip!! Cheers!

My wife and I had a full-day tour and were delighted with the experience.
Catherine is very knowledgeable of the region's history and wineries, on top of being extremely friendly and able to bring together a group of strangers in the tour and make them all feel comfortable.
The selection of wineries was very good and made us want to come back to get to know Orange's region even further.

Hi Cheryl, We no longer conduct the bike tours because they were to dangerous and our insurance wouldn't cover that type of hire. We do offer full day tours in our modern fleet of vehicles
