What to expect
Peter collects you and the two of you craft the day as you go. Rather than ticking boxes at tourist-heavy estates, you'll roll up to smaller operations where staff know regulars by name. Conversation flows naturally between tastings—expect honest chat about what makes each vineyard distinctive, not scripted marketing spiel. You'll pause for lunch at a spot Peter actually recommends because he eats there, not because it pays commissions. The pace is yours: linger over a particular wine, skip a winery if it's not clicking, or extend a lunch.
Good to know
Confirm your preferences ahead so Peter can plan sensibly. Southern Highlands roads are scenic but winding—not ideal if prone to car sickness. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes for cellar walks. Prams work on most vineyard grounds; check access specifics when booking.
