My wife and I did the half day wine tour with Simon on Wednesday, 27th March. We were fortunate to be the only persons on the tour that day. Simon was very nice and knowledgeable about the area and the wineries we visited. Tasted many fine wines, and the lunch at Patrick's was great. Would recommend Coonawarra Experiences to anyone who is in the area.

Brilliant afternoon of wine tasting, wine education and local history presented by our delightful guide. Lunch was a delicious platter of cheeses, meats and preserves. The winery staff were helpful, informative and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour.

A superb trip with Kerry! Kerry was friendly, very helpful (even helped us with our search to find long lost family friends) and took us to 3 excellent wineries on our tour. Sampled lots of wines and had a lovely lunch. It was a lovely relaxed day where we saw some lovely scenery and met great people. Would thoroughly recommend!

Our tour today was fantastic. Simon who led the tour was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He was always ensuring that we were having a good time and had everything we needed. He also went the extra mile to ensure we got all we wanted from the trip. The area is beautiful, the lunch was delicious and we got to sample a lot of wine. I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to get to know the region.

The overall experience we had was excellent. From the pick-up for our visit to Mayura Station for what can only be described as the most enjoyable experience, the food and wine was next level. The following day, our tour of the Coonawarra Wine Region along with lunch at Ottelia was excellent. Our host, Simon was a mine of information on the region and took the time to explain to us the history of the Coonawarra and its early inhabitants, all of which we both found of great interest. The accommodation provided by Simon & Kerry was superb as was the Wine and chocolates..

We randomly booked our half day tour in Penola with Coonawarra Experiences. We were very lucky to do so. Simon was our tour guide. He picked us up at our motel precisely on time. We visited several vineyards. Out first stop also served us a delightful lunch. Each winery were wonderful hosts and served us ample selections of their wines. Simon also showed us several places of interest in the delightful Penola. We could not have asked for a better guide than Simon. His personality - knowledge -and sheer enthusiasm and decency made our tour a life experience. We would recommend Simon and Coonawarra Experiences to anyone visiting the wonderful Coonawarra and Penola. Thank you Simon sincerely for such a delightful experience.

Very friendly and knowledgeable host. Great having a driver so that we could enjoy wine tastings. Lunch platter was delicious.

We arrived in Penola on a Monday afternoon and found it so easy to book a half day tour on the Tuesday with Simon. He asked what sort of wines we were looking for and arranged an itinerary to suit. Kerry picked us up on time and took us to four fabulous wineries with lunch at Patricks. She was informative and knowledgeable about not only wines but also the history of the area. I would thoroughly recommend booking a tour with them to anyone.

The best way to experience a hassle free & professional tour of beautiful Coonawarra. Brilliant cellars door experiences with Kerry's wine knowledge a added bonus! A great lunch at Ottella just topped it all off. From first contact Simon & Kerry were fantastic & delivered the perfect day trip in a friendly, informative & professional way. We will return! Thank you.
