Well what a great day we had. Shane picked my wife and I up right on time in Glenelg. Within minutes we were relaxed and enjoying a conversation about the day ahead. Shane had selected three vineyards initially with a fourth to be added. He was knowledgeable about the area and listened to our preferences, after a visit to Olivers and Primo we had an enjoyable lunch platter at Hugo's rounded off at Coriole ( our choice) We recommend Shane for a personable relaxing, value for money tour

Shane from Buckley Estate Wine Tours was fantastic, he was friendly, chivalrous and so knowledgeable about the region and wines! We had an amazing day touring McLaren Vale and really enjoyed Shane's suggestions of Samuel's Gorge and Oliver's Taranga. Definitely recommend this tour.

We had an absolutely fantastic day with Shane. From pick-up to drop-off everything was flawless. We knew which wineries we wanted to visit, and Shane worked with us ahead of time to ensure everything was right and that we had left enough time to get from stop to stop. Shane is personable and knowledgeable about the region. He regularly checked in with us to make sure we were having a great time. He made sure we made it on time to each stop - we were never late, and we never felt rushed. I recommend this tour and Shane without hesitation.

Picking the winery and going to Molly Dooker winery Much better than a group tour with other people.

We had such an amazing time taking a unique and at times exclusive look at South Australia’s thriving wineries. The tour guide was knowledgeable, flexible and came with localised gold star recommendations. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a relaxing day, tasting the flavours of McLaren Vale, taking in the beautiful sight and spending quality time with who ever you choose to go with. This tour is a must do.

Great trip. Personally tailored to include our own places of interest and flexible to go at our desired pace. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Kim_M

Shane was exceptional. Great day. Needed more time however he packed a lot into the time we had. Very knowledgeable. Great experience from a small authentic rustic winery to a modern larger winery. We toured the scenic coastal highway and also saw the beautiful mountainside vineyards. Wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Shane was an outstanding driver and host and ensured our day ran very smoothly. We could not have asked for a better experience. Can't wait to visit again.
