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.

Just wanted to say if you want a relaxing day out at the wineries, then book this trip. To be able to sit back and relax and be looked after with lovely wines, great food and an informative drive was great. We were able to suggest where we would like to go before hand so it suited us. We altered our trip on the day due to it being a sunny day and wanting to sit outside and relax in the gardens at one of our stops, which was great advice from Simon. Thank you heaps Simon for being a great driver and your knowledge of the area was very informative.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day out with Simon for all of the following reasons:
The van was clean, comfortable and in good condition.
Simon was full bottle on the wineries, vines and wine makers. He has strong community relationships.
Simon asked us what wines we wanted to try and tailored the trip to our tastes and preferences.
The staff at all wineries we visited were attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant.
We had a hearty lunch in the middle of the tour.
We were with a like-minded crew.
Well done Simon!

Simon tailored this day trip perfectly, with a blend of well and less well known wine makers and a superb lunch. He knows the area well and provided insightful commentary on the history of the region and current winemakers. The tour was great value for money and I recommend it highly.

Awesome day. Booked the private day tour. Kerry and Simon were fantastic hosts and this tour was great value. 4 premium wineries with plenty of time to taste and purchase and an outstanding lunch at Otellias restaurant dining from the chefs feed me menu. The transport was a comfortable Mercedes vehicle and the hosts were extremely knowledgeable. They have other themed tours and experiences and we will be doing this again in the future

We were lucky enough to have both Simon & Kerry look after us for the day in Coonawarra. Excellent communication leading up to the day, and wonderful hosts throughout the day. They were also incredibly flexible with any changes that happened on the day and accommodated with no worries. Lovely all round!

Three of us recently enjoyed an awesome day on the Coonawarra Experiences Full Day Tour with Lunch option. We couldn't recommend the tour enough - it is simply the best way to really immerse yourself in both the wineries and the people of the wonderful Coonawarra region. Thanks to Simon we got to meet the actual winemakers at each winery and were treated to a great explanation of the wines and the history of each winery. We also had an amazing lunch at Otelia.
Nothing was too much trouble for Simon and, to top it off, Simon and his wife and co-host Kerry even joined us for a drink at the local Penola pub afterwards. Terrific value for money. We can't wait to do another trip with Simon and Kerry next time we are in Coonawarra

We did a 2 night stay package with friends and went to Mayura Station where we all thoroughly enjoyed the 4 Course Wagyu meal & wine. Thankfully Simon was driving so we got there & back very safely. The next day we did a Full Day wine tour to Wineries we had agreed with Kerrie & Simon. Kerrie was our host this time and from the get go, it was a relaxing and very enjoyable experience at a casual pace. Lunch at Ottelia was divine. There wasn't a drop of Wine or Gin that we tasted that we didn't enjoy. Some bottles of wine were of course procured for our weekend and also for our return back home. We actually stayed another night in the townhouse Verdelho after our friends departed which was extremely spacious and luxurious and in a great location in Penola, We will be back again in the not too distant future, as Simon & Kerrie are great hosts and are very well respected by the staff at all the venues we attended in the Coonawarra
