Welcome to Hidden Wineries

Interested in private and individual wine tours? Want to know where to take your wine holidays? Possibly some vineyard visits in some of the best wine regions of the world in France, Germany, Australia or New Zealand (South Africa, Italy and Spain will be added in the near future).

But which winegrower to visit on your wine tours and which of his wines to taste? Which hotels and restaurants best reflect and represent their respective wine regions? Meeting the winemaker at his vineyard, cellar door or chateau is the most enjoyable way to learn about wine and its culture. And to fully understand wines there is nothing to compare with experiencing the vineyards, meeting the local people, feeling the climate and eating the food. There's nothing like a wine tasting during a vineyard visit where the wine was made and with the winemaker who made it. Winegrowers are very proud of their achievements and are only too willing to share these with us. And what about the time between the vineyard visits? You can also enjoy some beautiful scenery, local culture and other regional 'hidden beauties'.

We can offer, due to our insider knowledge, personalised wine itineraries and wine tours always tailored to your specific wishes and at reasonable prices. The choices of destinations are immense - Bordeaux, Rhone, Margaret River, Hunter Valley, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Marlborough, Rheingau, Mosel or Baden to name just a few! The choice is yours!

Testimonials

"A wine tour in Palatinate (Pfalz) with experts like 'hidden wineries' is like doing the Paris culinary tour with the authors of the Michelin guide. Highly targeted, the best wines or the best ambience to taste the wines and often both. No disappointments, and paced with distractions in the countryside or in fine restaurants so that wine tasting never gets boring or gets the better of you. Well worth it...."

Paul and Melissa Vlek (Bonn, 5.3.2007)

"We have often tasted very good wines on the recommendation of the 'hidden wineries' people. With their wine tours they manage to find dedicated winemakers who sell at reasonable prices.That was an asset, especially on our wine holidays to Burgundy! Their matching hotel and restaurant recommendations were excellent and we enjoyed every day of it."

Klaus and Uli Seifert (Bonn, 17.3.2007)

"Just a note by way of feedback regarding tour to Alsace. Had a great time! Accommodation, Food and Vineyard recommendations were great."

Oliver Fitzgerald (Dublin, 7.10.2007)

"Our trip to Clare and Barossa Valleys and McLaren Vale were, thanks to your tour itinerary, a very enjoyable part of our Australian trip."

Ken and Barbara Ward (Manchester, 8.3.2008)

"I honestly did not think that German white wines could be that good! We both thoroughly enjoyed our discovery tour of the Baden and Rheingau regions. We will certainly be back for more! Thanks again for your help."

Christine and Hugh Smyth (Kingston upon Thames, 27.4.2008)

"We had a wonderful time and a great holiday. The château accomodation was perfect and we found some great wines."
