I won the 2019 Wanderlust World Guide Awards Specialist Tour Guide of the Year.
Commended for my infectious passion, and being the perfect link between winemakers and travellers, I was given the award at the National Geographical Society. The judges based their decision on the feedback from the dozens of clients who have been on tour with me.

We will taste a fabulous selection of wines that incorporates the purity of Semillon, some left field Sauvignon Blanc plus a host of other grape varieties such as Gruner Veltliner, Pinot Gris. Gewurztraminer, Roussanne and even an Assyrtiko from the legendary Jim Barry.
