He was great, knowledgeable and overall a great guide.
The tour fulfilled all our wishes.
Loved Hahndorf very much!
The wine tasting at the various wineries was above and beyond any other one that we have experienced.
Thank you Adelaide and Beyond
Bruce was articulate and very knowledgable in every aspect of this tour.
The lunch and various wineries were visited and many a wine tasting.
I would highly recommend this tour to all fellow Australians and overseas visitors.
All the wineries were very welcoming, engaging and had interesting tales about their wines and history. Everything was included in the tour price, which was very reasonable and made for a smooth, easy day out. I look forward to another tour with Adelaide's Top Food & Wine Tours next time we're in the region.
Lunch was delicious and all the staff at the seller doors were so helpful, knowledgeable and good fun.
Vince, our guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly and we really enjoyed such a beautiful, relaxing day.
We never felt rushed or pushed by Mike or the Wineries visited. Lunch was excellent and plentiful.
All places visited were fantastic. Lunch was both excellent and large with the option to take home our dessert which we enjoyed later. We never felt rushed at any of the stops.
Disappointing day thanks to tour guide. I am giving this review a 2 only because i enjoyed the wineries. If i was simply reviewing the wineries it would be 5 stars. All the staff were friendly and the tastings weren't rushed. If i was rating this purely off the tour guide (and one of the bosses of the company), my review would be 0 which pains me as I like to support local tourist operators. I have done lots of tours across Australia and the world (winery and non-wine related) and i've never been so offended within the first minute of a tour. Nowhere in the tour description did it mention that no smoking was allowed on the tour. I understand not on the transport and to smoke in designated areas while on tour, but Danny made it clear that it wasn't acceptable for me to have one during the day and made me commit to not smoking the entire day while i was out. Danny was aggressive in how he asked this and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and to be honest it completely ruined the day for me. I didn't want to get back in the car with Danny every time a tasting stopped. There was no going back from that moment.
Many people have commented on Danny's commentary, but I felt like i was being talked at most of the day rather than being engaged in a conversation. When Danny suggested we could get dropped off in Glenelg on the way back (came to find out it's closer to his home) he was defensive when I said we weren't interested in his recommendation. "it was just a suggestion".
There were a few comments that were almost verging on racist.
Please update your tour description to include no smoking on the tour all day so that you aren't putting new rules on your guests on the day and people are aware of what they're paying for. This wasn't a cheap tour. If you're unhappy with something, please be polite to your guests about it and don't make them feel uncomfortable.
I had a small nap on the way back to Adelaide and pretended to be asleep for the whole journey, so I didn't have to engage in any further conversation.
The bus was comfortable and being a small group, it was a very personalised tour.
Highly recommend Adelaide’s Top Food & Wine Tours!
We visiting 2 wineries before our charcuterie lunch at a 3rd, then one more winery to finish the day. We also managed to squeeze in a short visit to the 'cube' and a winery known for their olive oil. One of our guests was very keen to buy some local olive oil. We all enjoyed the day and were good chums by the end. Bruce was full of local info as well as sharing his sense of humour.
The wineries were all good and the first one especially so. Each winery offered good information about their wines and we enjoyed all the samples! The charcuterie board was splendid and enough food for all. We had 3 boards for 6 people! It was a great visit to McLaren Vale!
Danny was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable. He drove safely and gave a great commentary. I asked if we were going to go past the cube and he accommodated our requests and stopped there for great photo opportunities.
The wineries we visited were excellent. Maxwell's, Haselgrove, Hugo's and Wirra Wirra.
Adelaide's top food and wine tours is highly recommended and we plan to come back to Adelaide and do another tour at different wineries.
It was a wonderful day with lots of great wineries, food and most importantly, an expert guide.
Would thoroughly recommend!
Enjoyable day A very enjoyable day tour. Knowledgeable tour guide, lovely lunch and good range of wine tasting.A shortage of staff at one of the wineries unfortunately resulted in slow service and a reduction in wines offered.
Autumn in the Vineyards Great scenery, enjoyable lunch, informative driver who organised some alternatives to wine tasting at the vineyards visited, as we are not big wine drinkers. We were booked on this trip as part of an overall package.
Great wineries - tour guide left A LOT to be desired.... Save our $$ and pick something else The wineries we visited were great, but the overall experience did not meet our expectations. We had done the Tasting the Barossa tour the previous day, which was excellent—our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and the tour cost less while being far more enjoyable. Unfortunately, our guide on this tour spent more time talking about himself and making bad jokes than educating us about the city and wine region. Some of his comments bordered on racist and were in poor taste. Initially, we thought it might just be our impression, but other couples on the tour shared similar feedback with us, unprompted. I hate to leave a negative reviews, but given what we paid, the experience fell far short of expectations.
I have been on better winery tours Very disappointed, we only did 3 wineries, no cheese plate as stated, lunch was in a pub. All in all very average the last winery the wine was awful
He is so informative & told us just about everything that there is to know about the locations we visited & the sights that we saw.
The beautiful lunch was an added bonus by fast tracking the queues & the wine tasting was awesome aswell.
All in all, a great day out in the region, would definitely do it again & recommend to others.
Just opened & sampled the jam today, it was beautiful.
Thanks Danny, see you again next time we are in your neck of the woods.

The wineries were well selected and the lunch very delicious.
Great experience, opportunities for improvement The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. There was not too much driving and we saw a variety of great sites. The only negative feedback about the tour was that they took us at a chocolate and cheese factory which didn’t offer any meaningful opportunity tasting nor they showed the way cheese and chocolate was produced. Lunch was average and it appeared that there were better places in the village where we could have had lunch. The wine places were absolutely lovely, but they would benefit from offering cheese tastings as well.We did the tour in a group of 6 and I highly recommend taking small groups tour to have the opportunity to meet people and chat. Also, the pace is much more chill.
The meal included was lovely!
I highly recommend this tour!
NB: you should have breakfast before doing the tour because not every winery will serve you something to eat with the tasting.
Tasted wines from small, family run wineries which were handpicked to our taste.
Barossa Valley is very pretty with some stunning views. It feels a little of the beaten track and yet is only an hour away from Adelaide.
We had a very knowledgeable driver and learned a lot about Adelaide and the Barossa.
Absolutely loved it.
