The best - Booked Pineapple on last minute basis and they were able to accommodate us . Pick up from hotel was prompt . Sinya was our driver. Ours was a small group and she tailored the tour to our needs and smiled through our last minute changes on what to see in Mt Tamborine. The tour bus was very clean and comfortable. I would use pineapple again and recommend to friends and family.

Incredible experience just do it - Despite initial confusion this turned out to be an awesome day out. Sinya was very happy to work out a schedule that suited all parties. Spent an incredible time up on the mountain, took some amazing photos and had lovely food and drinks. The Cauldron Gin Distillery was a winner as well.

Just do it - The views were lovely and the guide was knowledgeable. The wineries were pretty and had some decent wines to taste. The distillery was great with a bunch of infused products and some delightful Xcellos.

When you visit the coast... - When you visit the coast you must experience this wine tasting tour! My family and I enjoyed it so much! We tasted so many different wines and they luck was spectacular! It was such a great experience. Shout out to our tour guide Michelle who made us feel like we were hanging out with family. She was so knowledgeable of the history and gave so much information about each location. We would definitely go again. Take it from me! This is one the best experiences you will have when visiting the Coast.

Bri’s Hens day - Michelle (Pineapple Tours) did our tour and she was brilliant, such a lovely lady. She did everything she could to make Bri’s day special. We had such a wonderful day, did lots of wine tasting, had a fantastic lunch at the Hamptons Winery.

Fabulous Day! With great wine & food! - Having enjoyed a tour so much last year with Pineapple Tours we were up for another full day tour this year on our annual girls weekend away! Pete once again created a personalised tour for our group of 7. His extensive knowledge of the area and wine is exceptional. He has a very friendly demeanor and reads the group very well. We visited Mt Nathan wines with their specialty being honey fortified wines....delicious. We enjoyed an outstanding lunch at Albert River wines with a fabulous view overlooking the vines. Also visited Witches Falls our favourite a must visit with exceptional wines. Pineapple Tours provide excellent buses which are super comfy and our bus even had USB charging points at each seat. Now to enjoy drinking all the wine we bought!! Thanks again Pete for looking us. See you again next year!

5 Stars - favourite winery tour of Mt Tambourine yet! - I have been on about 3 Mt Tambo winery tours before - but the one with Michelle on Pineapple tours has been the best to date! This was for a hens party, so we had 13 girls. I have to say the highlight was going to Heritage winery, which has just been redone - where we got what was easily the best meal of any winery tour that I've ever been on. I had a perfectly cooked lamb and cous cous, but options included slow cooked beef cheeks and salmon too. Thanks Michelle for making the day so lovely, and getting so many lovely pictures of us in the vines!
