Your Albany Tours guide will take care of the skipper duties, whilst you take pleasure in tastings. 

This region has a characteristically cool climate with slow ripening times which allows for the development of rich flavours and quality grape juice. Wine tasting begins at Gilbert Wines, home to the ‘lads’ and where a morning coffee might be preferred. At Plantagenet wines you are taken to the tasting bench to choose your wine and make your purchase to accompany a scrumptious shared platter lunch of local produce. Onwards the tour will take you to Galafrey Wines another family-owned winery and home to prominent female wine-maker Kim Tyrer. From there to West Cape Howe where you can sample wine from their extensive range, olive oil or their own brand of coffee!  Our Albany Tour guide will take care of the skipper duties, whilst you relax and enjoy the scenery and the sensational flavours of the region.

Magical and memorable

What one guest had to say of this 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ experience.

A fantastic day! Small group. Visited 4 wineries for tastings - all quite different. A good introduction to the region. Susan our guide was very knowledgeable about the region, the wineries and the wines. Also included a lovely shared platter lunch. Highly recommended.
