About this tour
A personalised wine tour through NSW Southern Highlands tailored entirely to your preferences, not a fixed itinerary. Your guide Peter, a long-time Bowral resident, curates winery visits and lunch stops based on what interests you — expect introductions to cellar masters at smaller producers rather than standard group stops. Six hours, or half-day options available. Just you (and your group), a local, and the freedom to linger where you choose.
Highlights
- No large groups or fixed bus route — customised entirely to your interests
- Local guide with years of Bowral knowledge recommends personal favourite wineries
- Access to boutique cellar doors where owners can greet you directly
- Flexible lunch arrangements at spots your guide suggests
- Half-day option available if you prefer shorter duration
- Suitable for all fitness levels and accessible by public transport nearby
- Service animals and prams/strollers welcome
What to expect
You'll meet your guide Peter, who'll discuss what you'd like to see and taste that day — whether that's specific wine styles, quieter cellar doors, or food-focused stops. Rather than following a preset route, you'll travel to wineries Peter selects based on your conversation. At each stop, expect personal attention from the cellar master or owner rather than a standard tasting room experience. You'll choose where and what to eat for lunch, with Peter's local recommendations guiding the decision.
The day flows at your pace. You might spend longer at a winery you love, skip one that doesn't appeal, or adjust timing around your energy. By the end of six hours, you'll have visited several boutique producers and eaten somewhere memorable, all chosen on the day rather than locked into a group schedule.

Good to know
This suits anyone who wants a slower, more personal wine experience and values local knowledge over standardised tours. It's particularly good if you have specific tastes, want to meet winemakers, or prefer not to be shepherded with 20 strangers. Not ideal if you need a predictable itinerary or prefer group dynamics. Practical notes: not recommended for people with spinal injuries or significant cardiovascular issues. Prams and strollers are fine for infants. Public transport is available nearby, though having your own transport or taxi/rideshare for wine tasting is simpler. The tour guide is included; meals and tastings are typically at your own cost unless specified otherwise. Group size isn't capped in the listing, so clarify if you're a couple, family, or larger party.
