VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour

  As part of a round the world trip, I had some time in Perth and booked this trip well in advance of my January arrival in the area. Tim was... read more extremely helpful throughout the process, communicative and helped me get on the tour on the best day for me.

On the day itself, Tim himself took us into the Swan Valley and quickly demonstrated both that he knew the area like the back of his hand, providing a useful and informative commentary on the area, but also had a deep knowledge and relationship with the wineries that we visited. As the day progressed, he worked out what the interests of the group were and dropped in on boutique wineries that would suit our interests and that he knew would be able to accommodate us, rather than sticking to a rigid schedule - although he was still well able to get us back into Perth for a sensible time in the evening.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable tour - the wineries themselves were well worth exploring (the Swan Valley maybe not having the profile of some other Australian wine-making areas), the food was excellent and Tim himself was an excellent guide. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting the area who is interested in a wine tour.

  If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes during the wine-making process then I highly recommend this tour! We were so well looked after by our tour guide... read more Tim, who was extremely knowledgeable and made the day so much fun. Absolutely spoilt for variety with both wine and food I got a lot out of the Best Of Perth tour and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to the serious wine lovers out there. Thanks Tim for a brilliant day!!

  Could not have asked for a better day out in the Swan Valley. A good selection of local boutique wineries, delicious cheese plate, excellent lunch at a lovely venue... read more and topped off with a visit to the Margaret River Chocolate Factory. Our guide Tim Stone, was friendly, knowledgeable and considerate throughout the day and his personal relationships with each of the venues and their staff made for a relaxed and fun experience in a small group setting. I would highly recommended this tour.

  Hubby and I had a great day touring the Valley yesterday. Tim, our tour guide and founder of the Tour Company was very enthusiastic and charismatic and showcases the best... read more of Perth. Our group was tailored to a small group which ensured everyone had the most from their travel experience.
Wineries visited may vary, but we were lucky to pay a visit to several estates whose wines we hold dearly.
It was great vibes all day!!! We met new wine lovers who did the tour with us and it was amazing to chat about the wines and the region. All in all it was a relaxing yet fun tour exploring vineyard, behind the scenes wineries and tasting wines and cheese.

  My partner and I had a wonderful time on the VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour. The boutique wineries were lovely and the wine was amazing. Because the boutiques were... read more smaller wineries we were able to meet the owners who explained how they produced the wines which was really special. The tour guide, Tim, was fantastic. He gave us lots of history of the regions which was very interesting and we stopped and had dinner at one of the wineries. The meal was great and this was paired with one of the wines which was really special. Overall the trip was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone who visits Perth.

  Absolutely excellent service, Tim was an amazing host with a great deal of knowledge of the region! Great to see the smaller boutique wineries.

  My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the Best of Perth Swan Valley tour. It was such a comprehensive, well thought out day filled with excellent wines, cheeses and food. Our... read more tour guide Tim could not have been more helpful or informative. We would highly recommend the tour to anyone wanting to avoid the noisy crowds and wanting a more personalised, professional experience.
Thank you for such a memorable day Tim.

  I went with my family (with elderly and teenager) to Perth for the X'mas holidays. We joined the "City Highlights, Wildlife Park and Swan Valley Tour". The local tour company... read more is "Best of Perth Tour" and the guide is Tim Stone. He carefully planned and took good care of the elderly. At King's park, I had plenty of time to enjoy the Botanic Garden with lovely sloped meadows, fountain ponds, tall trees (lots of eucalyptus smell), wild parrots and views overlooking Perth. The cheese board arranged near the State War Memorial grassland was refreshing. At Caversham Wildlife Park, Tim helped us take good photos with koalas and other animals with great angles. Thank you Tim! The wine tasting right before the delicious lunch was delightful. It was fulfilling to taste various wines produced within the Swan Valley Region. Lastly we visited the Scarborough Beach. We had the chance to watch skillful people playing kite-surfing by the beach, and skateboarding at a skatepark. What a gratifying tour!

  A small group of workmates went on the full day won’t tour of the Swan Valley last Friday. We couldn’t have asked for a better host/driver than Tim who was... read more very affable and helpful with his info and not at all into pushing or rushing along. We went to the first winery and were given an overview and look at production methods and then we had leisurely tastings accompanied by an platter of fabulous cheeses. Then on to another winery for more tastings and lunch (included) ,then on to two more little small owner operated wineries for more tastings and finally finishing up at the chocolates factory for for sweet delights to finish. Tim then dropped us off at various stops requested along the way back to Perth.
He couldn’t do enough to accomodate any requests and just was a genuinely lovely host. Thanks for a great day.

  A lovely day with a small group in Swan Valley under guidance of Tim. Being his own company makes the tour very personal and tailor made. Besides visits to four... read more wineries including lunch, we also made a Quick visit to a chocolate factory. A small group also offers a good opportunity to interact and get to know the other participants, which in our case meant we got a lot of great recommendations of restaurants around Perth.
Tim also sent a number of wineries to visit in Margret River, which was very kind of him.
