Such an amazing day in the Barossa Valley led by our fantastic guide Nick. Lovely to visit some family-owned wineries well selected by Nick and hear the stories behind the wine. Would definitely recommend and return for more!

We visited many venues according to my tastes, had amazing lunch platters catering to my needs and even a solo trip day.
Nick is so experienced and made my days exploring so memorable. Can't thank him enough. Will try his accommodation next.

Nick was by far the best driver and tour guide. Not only is he from the area, but he was funny too! Definitely use this company to tour the wine valley and drink some good wine. Hey Nick, knock knock….. 😂.

Highly recommend this tour by Nick. Compared to Barossa McLaren Vale is way way better - great cellar doors, fab views, and wine to die for. Nick knows his trade, we visited Oliver Tauranga Winery, Samson Tall, Richard Hamilton, and Sparrows cottage. Great selections on offer, Michelle from Sparrows cottage is a champ - knowledgeable and genuinely passionate. Am happy as Larry!!

Such a wonderful experience! Nick was extremely friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the regions (McLaren Vale and Barossa) and the wineries we visited. Every winery was a hit with our group and both tour days were booked were just perfect. This is highly recommended.

We had a lovely day with Nick as our guide. Spent a very nice couple of hours at Oliver'sTaranga. Then onto a couple of smaller vineyards, then onto Shirvington estate for lunch. Unfortunately, I was all 'wined 'out by then but enjoyed the company and conversation. Nick even took us to the coast to take in the sights. McLaren Vale is a must to visit while here and Wine divas are a good company see it with 😊🥂

A fantastic day with Nick our driver from Wine Diva Tours. He was so knowledgeable and willing to make this tours a memorable one. We had a blast. We visited 4 wonderful wineries that he recommended and at D’Arenberg (the Cube) which our group asked for. Each stop was exceptional on its own.
We stopped first at Oliver’s Taranga where the winemaker, a lady who has won best winemaker last year. Wines were delicious, then we stopped at D’Arenberg where with Nick we had a special guided visit (must do!) This place is so “different” and interesting!
We had a wonderful lunch at Shirvington a family own winery where we had the pleasure to chat with mother and daughter.
Our 4th stop was at Ortus (which means reborn). The young winemaker there was so interesting and dynamic. It was a real pleasure to meet her and taste her wines. Great story !
And we finished at Sam son Tall, in this little church and had the chance to savour the delicious wines there too.
A group was really pleasant and we had a day that we will remember forever.
Thanks Nick!!! Highly recommend this tour !!!

Absolutely awesome day out with Trish and Nick. Could not fault their service and knowledge of McLarenvale wineries. Trish was fabulous right from the get go, warm, welcoming and funny! Really lovely couple and even when we experienced a flat tyre, we did not feel for one moment feel our tour was impacted in any way. Highly recommend and will be back for another tour with them! Thanks again Wine Diva Tours!

My wife nd I had a private wine tour in McLaren Vale with Trish for my bday. It was a wonderful day! Trish took us to lots of small wineries, which is exactly what we asked for. We had an amazing platter lunch and ended the day with the sun going down at a local brewery. Trish was very knowledgeable, friendly, personable and known to the local cellar door staff. Highly recommend!

For our first stop he took us to Molly Dooker winery. This was the highlight of our day. This winery is on beautifully maintained grounds, with a view of the valley. The tasting room ("cellar door") at Molly Dooker was modern, clean and comfortable. More importantly, the wines were delicious. So happy that Nick brought us to this winery.
Based on reviews, we had also pre-booked (on our own) lunch at the d'Arenberg Veranda restaurant and a visit to the d'Arenberg Cube, which Nick drove us to. The d'Arenberg experience was somewhat disappointing compared to Molly Dooker. In retrospect, I wish we had let Nick choose our lunch spot and a couple different wineries, instead of d'Arenberg (which we chose ourselves). The only real highlight of d'Arenberg was the fantastic view of the vale from one of its balconies.
Bottom line: Just tell Nick what you want to taste, experience, eat and he will find the right places take you to.
Also, we wrapped up a little early, so Nick graciously offered to take us to a nearby wildlife sanctuary where we got a glimpse of a kangaroo and an emu. He also took a brief detour to show us downtown Adelaide before dropping us off at the cruise terminal.

My partner and I had an amazing time during our tour of McLaren Vale with Nick. Nick was extremely friendly and also very knowledgeable and was kind enough to take us to 5 different wineries in the McLaren Vale region.
We would highly recommend Wine Diva Tours to anyone who is thinking of undertaking a winery tour whilst in Adelaide!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with the McLaren Vale winery tour guided by Nick.
For non-native English speakers like us, it was sometimes hard to join the conversation and felt uncomfortable being in the local tour. However Nick has been patient during the tour to speak clearer and slower to make us easier to communicate and we were impressed he had tried to do the best to please us.
We enjoyed all of the wineries he took us to, especially the one we had lunch where the owner lady was super friendly to take a little moment from the busiest time to show us around the wine-making area.
Huge thanks to Nick for being attentive to details and warm-hearted to us making our Adelaide trip the most memorable one.

My partner & I booked Wine Diva Tours for our get away and we couldn’t have had a better day if we tried! Nick was amazing from the moment we called, gave us all the information we needed and more! Nick was very knowledgeable, being a local himself to the area and gave us lots of information which really made the whole experience and on top of that, took us to some places that were absolutely perfect. We will 100% be using Wine Diva Tours every time we visit!

Each winery was very different but at each we were treated as VIP's and wine tastings were delivered by either the winemaker or a senior staff member.
The lunch platters were great for an easy lunch.

Greg was absolutely an amazing host, I would highly recommend. The tour is definitely more personable and not your average tour, he will go with the flow and how the day is going and take you to as many or little places as the tour wants. Wish there was a Greg in Melbourne and us girls would be going to wineries every weekend.
