A great day out at some fantastic boutique wineries. Thank you to Ray and Karen, also to Phil, Sue and Snowy for your friendly welcome, it felt like we were home. Be prepared for some good old Aussie banter. We were very privileged to have Ray to ourselves for the day. With a side trip to the Bee Gees Way and a drop of at the airport thrown in.

What an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide Torry was super funny and entertaining. The history on beer videos played were well put together and engaging. The whole tour was amazing and the beer tasting was fun! We also got $5 gift voucher to spend on awesome XXXX merch.

Tania our guide was great. It was my 60th and I was looking for a little company that offered great value for money and I got it. The wineries we went to had great wines and were very pretty. We even went to a little boutique distillery where we got to sample some interesting liqueurs. We didn't know exactly where we were going at the start but as it turned out two of our stops were on my bucket list to visit. We all had a fantastic time with heaps of laughs. COVID restrictions had been eased in Queensland recently and we just had to sanitise and sign in at each venue and that was great.
