Coonawarra wineries at their best - We begun our day when Kerry picked us up from our accomodation in Penola. We boarded their very comfortable bus and headed to our first winery Parker’s. We enjoyed a pleasant tasting before we headed to Patrick for our next tasting and lunch. The hospitality was fantastic and the platters were amazing highlighting a selection of regional produce. We left there very happy. Next stop was Bowens where we tasted the highly rated Shiraz and cab sav. Next stop the Coonawarra railway siding for a picture and then off to De Giorgio wines. We enjoyed the extensive tasting and picturesque outdoor tasting area. Final stop was Raidis Estate. Despite running a bit late ( due to how much fun we had) we were welcomed and tasted some lovely wines. Our day came to an end and we headed back to Penola.
Our party of 6 had an awesome day. We were expertly looked after by Kerry who shared a great deal of her local knowledge and some fun facts.
The wineries chosen for us gave us a great appreciation of the wine varieties being grown in the region. Yes there is more than red.
I highly recommend a day with Kerry and the wineries you will visit with her. Just remember you don’t have to like every wine you taste To enjoy a great day

Not Wine Drinkers And Loved The Tour. - The excellent service from Kerry & Simon. Their knowledge of the area and wines is amazing. Every winery we visited, the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and we had lots of laughs.
We are not wine drinkers but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Lunch was very good. The mixture of cheeses, meats and condiments was perfect. Plus we got to enjoy wine.

Fabulous Coonawarra - The inclusion of Patrick's as the lunch venue and first tasting venue, and then the iconic Wynn's assured the success of this exercise. Visits to two other cellar doors were a bonus. All venues were generous in the range and quality of wines available for tasting.
Our host, Simon, was very personable, knowledgeable and careful to include all participants in the banter. Just being able to enjoy four tastings within 4 hours without the worry of driving is the main attraction of this tour.
The vehicle used was modern, safe, clean and very comfortable. And the platter lunch was generous. Wise to fuel up on the carbs before hitting the second tasting.

Fab tour and even better accommodation! - Fab tour and amazing accommodation!
We loved our stay with Simon and Kerry and the wine tour we did was fun, informative and well worth doing. All the communication I had with Simon before we arrived was prompt and professional with all my questions answered. We were met on arrival with a bottle of wine and lovely cuvée chocolate…and it is those little extras that made the whole experience so good. Very comfortable bed with quality bedding. A very well appointed bathroom, again high quality towels and toiletries. In the lounge/kitchenette was a microwave, decent size fridge and a good selection of crockery, cutlery etc. very happy to see a variety of good wine glasses and an Espresso machine! Really good value, accomodation exceeded expectations
Normally we take ourselves around cellar doors but so glad we decided to take the tour with Coonawara Experiences. We had such a good time. It was very personal and lots of fun. The lunch platter was lovely and meeting the people running the tastings was what really made it. Kerry and Simon are very obviously passionate about the Coonawara and the local produce. Book a tour with them, you won’t regret it.

Great afternoon out - We really enjoyed our afternoon with Coonawarra Experiences. The wineries we visited were top notch with lovely tasting rooms and even lovelier people behind the bar. Kerry picked us up at our accommodation right on time and everything ran smoothly. The luncheon platter at Patrick's was generous and delicious, All in all this was probably the best wine tour of its type that we have done. Would highly recommend to anyone who fancies an enjoyable, stress free afternoon sampling some of the best wines SA has to offer. Thank you so much Kerry, hope to see you again in the future.
