Had a weekend in Bright and booked bills half day tour. From first contact Bill was accommodating asking questions and making suggestions. Bill picked us up from motel and provided local information about Bright region . We visited 3 wineries, myrtleford and bright ,which was plenty , highlight was ringer reef platter and chardonnay... the service was exceptional. Our wine knowledge is limited however Bill guided us through numerous wine varities and answered all our questions . In a word "excellent" .

Thanks Grant. It is always a privilege to show visitors like Felicity and yourself around our lovely region; the wines and wineries we visit are a bonus. My task was made easier by your willingness to ask appropriate questions and immerse yourself in what was offered.
I look forward to renewing future friendships.

Had a great day out in Bills air conditioned van. Visited two wineries, saw some local vantage points and olive farm.

Bills very good company and very knowledgeable. Half day was enough for me otherwise it becomes info overload - but maybe that's just me as I am an amateur. I suspect connoisseurs would get even more out of it.

Gorgeous country. Excellent professional and good value service. Thanks again for a memorable day out Bill! Highly recommend to others if you want a local guide!

Bill was very easily contactable and responsive. He was very accommodating with our late notice booking and was able to slot my friend and I into an already planned trip (total 4 people).
The content of the tour was excellent. Bill was very insightful and helpful throughout the tour - I believe this was appreciated by all. One of the very unique things I enjoyed was his local, national and international wine knowledge, allowing him to explain differences across these levels.
Some local connections at one of the wineries made a more intimate experience.
Throughout the tour Bill was very polite, professional and attentive.
I would recommended this tour to anyone planning to visit Bright.
Thanks Bill.

Thanks for taking the time to review my tour Tim. It is always easier when clients have an inquiring mind - you and Farand certainly asked insightful and penetrating questions.
I hope to catch up with you for more wine and food tours in the future,

Bill

My husband, sister and brother-in-law had a weekend away in Bright and on impulse decided to book a wine tour.
We are hardly wine connoisseurs but thanks to Bill we are now armed with a fresh knowledge and a new appreciation for wine! We also learnt so much about the history of this stunning region! The wineries Bill recommended for us were sensational and we were able to sample the most delectable local produce at Ringer Reef Winery.
Bill is undoubtedly knowledgeable and professional, yet unpretentious, easy going and flexible.
We had a ball and can't wait to come back next year with a bigger party! Thanks Bill!

Georgie, it was a pleasure to look after you and your group as you were so attentive and responsive to everything that was said. I am sure you will all approach wine with greater confidence in future. I would love to show you more of the great wineries we have in the North East, next time you are in Bright. PS I hope Rob didn't have a 'volcanic eruption' last night. Best wishes and thanks again, Bill

Thanks Bill for the great day visiting local vineyards in the Bright area. My sisters and I took our elderly parents on a tour to celebrate a Birthday and we could not have had a better day. Bill was very knowledgable about the local area and could also answer any questions about the wonderful wines we were able to taste. Lunch at Gapstead Winery was excellent. Overall we were extremely happy with the day. Highly recommended.
