About this tour
Spend eight hours touring Murrumbateman's boutique wineries with a knowledgeable guide who'll steer you through up to six venues in the region. You'll taste a cross-section of local producers, sit down to lunch with cheese and antipasti, and pull over at scenic vantage points across the valley.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at either Jolimont or Abode Murrumbateman early morning, then travel through the Southern Tablelands wine region stopping at small, independent producers. At each winery, you'll taste their current releases with tasting fees included. Lunch happens mid-tour—a proper spread of local cheese, cured meats and crackers, plus snacks and soft drinks travel with you on the coach. Between venues, the driver points out the landscape and pulls in at lookouts worth the camera work. Expect a mix of established cellar doors and lesser-known producers depending on the day's route.
