Example Itinerary
While we pride ourselves on flexibility, here is a glimpse of what a typical full-day Big Grape tour looks like.
We’ll collect you from your home, hotel, or office. Timings are flexible to suit your group’s needs.
Kick off the morning at a boutique winery. Enjoy a guided tasting session while taking in the rolling hills and morning mist of the valley.
Time to refuel with a long-table lunch. We offer three distinct styles:
Option 1 – Boat O’Craigo: A relaxed, social vibe featuring gourmet wood-fired pizzas and antipasto platters to share, accompanied by a glass of estate wine.
Option 2 – Coldstream Brewery: A local favourite for a hearty pub-style meal. Choose from their award-winning parmas or pizzas, paired with a glass of wine or a tasting paddle of their famous craft beers and ciders.
Option 3 – Steels Gate Wines: A sophisticated, upper-class dining experience. Enjoy a refined a la carte lunch with a seated wine tasting and a glass of premium estate wine.
We head to another boutique producer for a relaxed afternoon session, focusing on the region’s famous Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Finish the day at a scenic vineyard. This is the perfect time to unwind, soak in the last of the views, and grab a few bottles for your cellar.
Settle into the luxury of our modern vehicles for the return journey to your nominated drop-off point.
