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.

At short notice Mira was able to meet our request for a tour for 5. We were collected on time and Scott our guide was great. We visited 3 wineries and enjoyed a spectacular lunch in Berrima at Josh’s place. It was a very special day for us all and we will plan another adventure with Grape Escape as soon as we can. Snacks were appreciated, we cannot recommend this tour highly enough, excellent value, lovely wineries and outstanding food. Thank you Mira and Scott.

I organised a wine tour for myself and 3 friends.. we are a very easy group of girls(women?), who have travelled extensively around the world. We are now exploring our backyard. We have been to the Hunter and other wine regions and wanted to explore the Southern Highlands. Communication with Mira was easy, we had Doug Driving us on the day, he was friendly and helpful. We had a mystery winery booked in the morning (Eling Forest) before heading over to Sutton Forest for an Antipasto lunch. Then off to Centennial (too commercial for our taste!) before finishing up at Tertini. My only feedback to Mira was that I would have preferred for them to have a couple of itineraries to choose from. I found choosing my own wineries quite hard, this is only really helpful if you know the area and just want a driver but if you dont know the area in can be quite overwhelming.! I would highly recommend them. Good fair pricing, good communication - exactly what we were after!

We received fantastic recommendations from The Grape Escape in terms of wineries, brewery and restaurant for lunch. Excellent service during the whole day. Everyone had fun and we’ve got great memories of our wine tour. We’ll do this again next year for sure, if not before! Highly recommend

What a fantastic day we had touring the Southern Highlands wineries. Mira was such a great guide, knows all the best places and has built up good relationships with the owners, so we felt well taken care of. Everything went smoothly from pickup to drop off and a fab lunch in between near the fire pit at Bendooley. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time. Many thanks to Mira and Scott. We visited four wineries across the Southern Highlands, including a lovely lunch in Berrima. Our guide/driver (Scott) was amazing - very knowledgeable and obliging. Happy to recommend.

Fabulous day! Scott and Mira went out of their way to ensure the best experience for our group. Even arranged a birthday cake at the restaurant that we stopped at for lunch. Scott was our driver for the day and we couldn’t have asked for better - safe, relaxed, knowledgeable of the local area and wine industry, all coupled with a sense of fun. Customer service at the highest level.

We had a private tour with Scott, with Mira saying ‘hello’ at lunchtime. We were taken to some outstanding wineries, with a beautiful winery for lunch.
A truly fabulous day out. We’ll be coming back as regulars! Thank you, Scott and Mira.

A girl friend and I decided to take a winery tour with The Grape Escape shortly after New Year. That time of the year when relatives are likely to just descend and stay for a few days, and you can quickly run out of ideas to keep them occupied, but you really want to get them out of the house... Anyway, The Grape Escape asked us to choose four local wineries to go to for wine tasting and they picked us each up in their mini-van from our accommodation and we had a brilliant day visiting Tertini Wines, Cherry Tree Hill Winery, then lunch and more tastings at Cuttaway Hill Winery and a finish off at Mt Ashby. What a great day! I can really recommend this as a great day out for up to a dozen people. The day was very hot (being January) however the bus was air-conditioned as was each of the wineries that we visited, so it was also a fantastic way to keep cool for the day!

We did a winery tour with Grape Escape a few months ago. It was just the two of us - no other guests must have booked for that date. Great experience!
