“Christmas party fun”
This was the perfect day and exactly what we all wanted it to be. Everyone had an amazing day and our host Sam was the right mix of fun, friendly, professional and informative. The selected destinations were spot on and we all had a great time. I highly recommend this tour for a group catch up. Thank you Wine Compass!
Our driver/ guide for the day, Jarrod, was fabulous. He quickly took stock of our group’s needs and made sure to set the atmosphere for a fun-filled day. He was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about wine making and the various varieties we were tasting. When one venue ran over time, Jarrod was able to liaise with the other wineries to ensure we didn’t miss out on our planned stops. The entire experience with all the staff at Wine Compass was brilliant and made organising this ChristmasParty a breeze. Also highly recommend Quealy Winery as part of any tour.
“Highly Recommend for a great day out!”
A massive thank you to the team at Wine Compass for helping me organise our staff Christmas Party this year!
Adam was super attentive to our requests, made sure we were happy with all the stops chosen and ensured we were kept up to date with the itinerary, weather updates and so on. He was even able to accommodate last minute changes the Friday afternoon before our event on Sunday.
On the day Jimmy hosted the tour, he was great fun and made sure everyone had a blast. Everything ran super smoothly and was taken care of before hand that we had nothing to worry about on the day, except what wine to try next!
I would highly recommend using Wine Compass for any function; the entire experience from start to finish was amazing!
