"Mel is fabulous and very accommodating. She takes the time to personalize the tour for you and is very flexible. Do yourself a favor and choose her. You won’t be disappointed. Even the winery staff say out of all the operators she is the best. No rushing and makes you feel cared for. And she is a dog person. Well done Mel!"

"I cannot recommend this tour enough!
We had a group of 12 on a Saturday afternoon tour for a 30th birthday celebration. Melissa's communication in the lead up to the weekend was excellent and she gave wonderful recommendations on the day to make the most of our weekend in Mudgee.
We went to 2 excellent wineries and a distillery. One of the best parts was how flexible the tour was - wineries of your own choosing or letting Mel curate the day depending on your vibe.
Thank you Mel. Highly recommend!"

"Mel was so much fun! She knows the local family wine makers, and organised intimate meet and greet experience. To be honest.. it’s not just a bus trip with Mel, Super
Chill, super fun, super easy to organise, super accomodating!
Literally leave it to Mel! She knows where to go and will sort it all for you! Just be ready for pick up and don’t be offended when Mel says ‘do you need a water?!"

"We had the most amazing time on our wine tour in Mudgee for my birthday, and a huge part of that was thanks to our wonderful bus driver, Mel! She was friendly, fun, super professional, and made everything feel smooth and relaxed from start to finish.
Mel went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable — including our four-legged companion, Hades, who was part of the adventure the entire time! She even provided snacks on board, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the ride between vineyards even more enjoyable.
Her warm energy and great sense of humour made the day truly memorable. Highly recommend Mel if you’re planning a tour — she’s an absolute gem!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable Mudgee wine experience!
What an incredible day! The wine tour through Mudgee was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we were picked up, the service was warm, professional, and full of local charm. Each winery had its own unique atmosphere and story, and the tastings were exceptional — rich reds, crisp whites, and everything in between.
Mel was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the region, sharing insights about the winemaking process and local history. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the pace of the day was just right — relaxed but well-organised.
This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Mudgee."
