THE TASTES

Tasting Fees Included for Suggested Venues

Tasting fees are included for venues drawn from the operator’s suggested list, so a selection of your day’s tastings is covered as part of the private experience.

THE ROUTE

Curated Visits to Boutique Producers

Your group collaborates with the operator to choose boutique wineries, distilleries, breweries or specialty food makers (chocolate or cheese), creating a tailored route rather than a fixed itinerary.

THE SERVICE

Private, Small‑Group Comfort and Contingency Planning

Operated as a private eleven‑seat tour, you’ll be collected from and returned to your Pokolbin accommodation; the operator prepares backup plans when venues are constrained by booking or health restrictions.
