★★★★★ "Our group of 5 really enjoyed Charles’ tour. His deep knowledge of the history of the region, and wealth of interesting stories greatly added to the experience. Charles was attuned to our group’s tastes and interests and moulded the tour to suit, contributing to our wine experience. Highly recommended." Britt (April 2026)

★★★★★ "Charles In Charge. We've had an amazing day out with Charles, we are the Charlie's Angels so believe us, this is the best tour you can do....You are in good hands with Charles"  Kim (March 2026)

★★★★★ "Instead of taking us to the big hitters like Penfolds or Jacobs Creek, we were introduced to some great family wines with a warm welcome and humble service. The hospitality we experienced from Charles and the venues we visited was excellent. Thank you Charles for a great first experience of what Barossa Valley has to offer."  Sam (February 2026)

★★★★★ "Charles’ knowledge, humour and organisation made this one of the best wine tours I’ve everdone. Highly recommend this wine tour."  Alison (January 2026)

★★★★★ "...Without technical jargon, but with engaging stories and real passion, Charles guides guests through four wineries where wines of freshness, balance, and character are tasted and explained. A tasting that is fun, informative, and lingers long in the glass and in the heart."  Mo (December 2025)

★★★★★ "A fun day in the Barossa with Charles! Nice selection of boutique wineries, great history share of the region, and a nice rapport with winery staff. Great day, easy to recommend. Thanks Charles!"  Jamie (November 2025)

★★★★★ "Wow, just wow. We had an amazing day, Charles was great, made the day perfect. Do yourself a favor and spend a day with Charles."  Kay (October 2025)

★★★★★ "Each of the five wineries we visited, he was able to tell us about the history and the people. He obviously got on well with the staff from each one, even calling out to them by name in the vineyards... Seven Hills winery, Father Kelly then came over to say hello to us and show us around the crypt giving us even more information... We had a wonderful day, thank you Charles. I would recommend this business to anyone wanting a relaxing Clare Valley wine tour full of fun and wine."  Phillipa (September 2025)

★★★★★ "Charles was incredibly knowledgeable and put together a fantastic itinerary that suited our group of four. We loved discovering new wineries we might not have found on our own, and each stop felt thoughtfully chosen. It made the whole experience effortless and unforgettable." Brooke (August 2025)

★★★★★ "Four of us had a fantastic day exploring the Clare Valley with Charles. We couldn't have asked for a more friendly, funny or well informed guide...I would not hesitate to recommend Charles as a tour guide and hope to take his Barossa Valley tour next time I'm in South Australia" Justine (July 2025)
