My McLaren Vale Tours - Willunga, South Australia

Wayne arranged a fantastic day out for our group. The whole process from first contact, setting a tailor-made agenda to pick up and drop off was professional, great fun and real value for money. Noting there are a few surprises he throws in that went down a treat. I highly recommend you get in touch with Wayne of McLaren Vale Tours if you are going to visit Adelaide and get on board.

We had an incredible day with Jon!!
Not only is Jon so kind, but he is so knowledgeable about the area, and super passionate about all things wine.
He tailored our day around our preferences, and took us to some of the most amazing places!!
We could not recommend Jon any higher and will definitely be reaching out next time we’re in the area.
Thank you Jon! We are so grateful we stumbled upon your website and got to spend the day with you!!!

Thank you Jon for an excellent day with our friends visiting the wineries of McLaren Vale. We loved the boutique wineries, meeting those who make their cellar door wines, and also meeting Toast the dog. Perfect weather, good company, exhausted by the end BUT an excellent day and super value for money.

Jon was spectacular. He was very communicative in the lead up and planning to our tour and took into consideration our preferences to create an awesome bespoke itinerary. He was even flexible on the day when we asked if we could add in a winery. He was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area and you could tell he has very strong relationships with the wineries in the area.

Our first stop was Oliver’s Taranga which had phenomenal wines and really knowledgeable staff. Shout out to Laz!

Next we went to Samson’s gorge which had phenomenal views and we got to try a new wine they had just been released.

Our next stop was lunch at Salopian Inn, very hearty meal which was perfect in between the wineries. The dumplings were so delicious that we ordered a second serving.

Next on tour we Primo which has Italian roots. As big fans of Italian wines, we were excited for primo and it didn’t disappoint !!

Next we went to Lino Ramble and met an awesome man, Bob, who runs the cellar door. What a fun time we had with him swapping Europe stories.

Jon took us on a quick tour up the Adelaide hills and was such fun company.

Final stop on tour was Coriole, where Bun treated us to an awesome tasting and finally we bought a bottle of wine and enjoyed the sunset and chatted with Jon.

The day flew by and we were so fortunate to experience such a diverse set of wines from Mclaren due to Jons expertise of the area. We could not recommend Jon enough, he is simply fabulous and you will not be disappointed booking a tour with him!

Thank you, Jon! We’ll be back!

Had a lovely full day tour of McLaren Vale with Jon from My McLaren Vale Wine Tours.
2 couples on holiday in Adelaide we wanted to see the D'Arenburg cube and do some wine tasting, Jon was flexible in his schedule to add the cube. Included in cost was pick up, drop off, lunch at the Salopian Inn, any wine tasting fees and entry into the D'Arenberg Cube. Food at the Inn was delicious with share plates for 4. A drink was included with lunch but we were also able to purchase some wine.
We found Jon very knowledgeable and personable. We had a great day!

My wife and booked Jon for a day tour when staying in the region for our wedding anniversary and he went above and beyond to give us a great day out and made us feel special. Even though we live close by and visit McLaren Vale regularly, Jon was able to show us some amazing places we'd never been to previously which helped us stock up Our wine rack!

Jon is super down to earth and relaxed which makes the day all the more comfortable and enjoyable, and when we asked him to help us buy platter food four our dinner he stopped at Foodland on the way back to our accommodation no questions asked.

If you're thinking of booking a private tour in the McLaren Vale region for a first time visit or veterans of the area then Jon should be #1 on your list!

We had a fantastic day out with Jon. He was incredibly knowledgable, easy to chat to, and you could tell that he had good relationships with the vinyeards we went to, as the staff at all the places we went were super friendly, and accommodating of any changes we needed with tastings. He was able to create an itinerary that fit our needs for the day. A real mix of wine, beer and gin. We had a great trip with lots of laughs. Finishing at Berg Herring and enjoying a glass of wine overlooking the water. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Jon.

We heard about Jon on the radio (a plug for supporting small businesses during Covid), and we were not disappointed. Jon was really friendly, took care of all the little details for us and super relaxed. He has great knowledge of the area and he knows his wine. He crafted our itinererary to the type of wines we wanted to taste and he didn’t miss a beat!

Thank you Jon, we will recommend to all who visit The Mclaren Vale region. 5/5 Stars from us!!
