Valley Wine Tours

April seems to be flying past! A slow finish to the 2026 Vintage, drizzles of rain mixed with sunshine, and very happy customers.
Lovely cellardoors, engaging staff, and magnificent wines. No wonder the Barossa Valley and the Clare Valley are on everyone's bucket list!

Managing to get to Kustom Kulture can be a chore when you don't live in Adelaide. We missed Friday and Saturday but managed to get to the Sunday event at Dirty Devils. Great bands and loads of dancing. It was great to catch up with the musos, artists, and many friends.

This early autumn is brilliant! Wineries are crushing, birds are everywhere, and your smiling faces make me happy.

If you don't recognise these two, that's okay.
Leo & Lloyd know about vineyards, they know about grafting, and they always say that they know nothing. Chatting with men like these is amazing. They were at the forefront of irrigation, and are still excited about innovations such as Sunscreen for Vines and Plants that host insect predators (planted at the end of rows).
Join my tour on your next trip to the Clare Valley. It's a busy 2026 already, and everyone survived the heatwave. The starts next week!

And yeah, I won an award. "Best boutique Barossa Valley Wine Tour 2026".

Some say I was rhe only entrant, but that's just mirroring. And not true.

Remember when 'lol' meant lots of love?

Cheers & Happy New Year 😀

Thank you to everyone who has chosen a Valley Wine Tours voucher in the past year. Birthdays, anniversaries, surprise weekends, family gifts, and even dog tours have all made their way into my agenda (after a couple of convincing emails, you know who you are!). The voucher program is now available on all of my tours. Your support means the world to this small local operator. Cheers to the next Four Years. Charles.

Congratulations to the CVBTA Best Window Display winners from the sensational who joined me on Wednesday to redeem their prize tour for the best window display for Gourmet 2025.
We visited a few charming cellar doors and shared a relaxed day in the valley.
Their smiles were a good reminder that a Valley Wine Tours voucher makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or any reason to treat someone you love, especially your fabulous sister who is visiting from Melbourne.
Thanks again to the CVBTA for supporting local operators.

Summer in the Valley means long days, chilled Riesling, and no rush to be anywhere.
The vines will be heavy with fruit, the hills dry and golden, and the air will smell like eucalyptus with a whiff of sunblock.
Cellar doors are cool and welcoming in summer, and there’s always a table in the shade somewhere with your name on it. Whether you’re in the Clare or the Barossa, summer’s a season for slow drives, quiet tastings, and stories that linger longer than the heat.
We’ll pick you up, pour something crisp, and show you what this part of South Australia really feels like in summer.

A wonderful time to visit the Clare Valley. From the coffee-wine-beer van to the personal in-depth winetasting , there are places to go and things to see.
