About this tour
Spend ten hours exploring Stanthorpe's wine region with a dedicated driver and guide crafting the day around your interests. Visit boutique vineyards at your own pace, taste vintages often reserved for serious collectors, and meet winemakers in their cellars. You'll move between estates in private comfort, break for a substantial lunch, and sip water between tastings. The itinerary bends to what matters to you—whether that's deep-diving into production methods, finding wines for your cellar, or simply enjoying the granite belt's cool-climate drops.

What to expect
Your guide collects your preferences at the start—whether you favour reds, whites, natural wines, or want to chase a particular producer's story. From there, you'll move between smaller, family-run cellar doors and larger estates, arriving unannounced or by prior arrangement depending on the vineyard. Expect hands-on tastings: small pours, honest talk about terroir and technique, and often a chance to step into working cellars. Lunch breaks the day midway. Between stops, sip cool water and chat about what you've tasted. The pace is yours; some guests spend two hours at one winery, others tick off five in the afternoon.
