We spent a fabulous day with Skip. Friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. We had a few wineries we wanted to go to and then let Skip guide us the rest of the day. He took us to see this fabulous old house/museum called Luhrs Cottage. We also went to a fabulous tawny estate Liebichwein winery. Quaint and fabulous. Most wineries charge betiwee $Aus10-20 per tasting per person. One was free as they knew Skip. The big red cab is spacious and a fun drive. I highly recommend Skip for a day tour so you can sit back and relax.

My wife and I booked the Big Red Full Day Private Tour for our anniversary, and it was hands down the most intimate and personalised tour we’ve ever been on. Skip, our amazing driver, made the day truly unforgettable. From the moment we set off, Skip listened to our preferences and tailored the experience perfectly to our tastes. Not knowing exactly where we wanted to go was no issue—he expertly chose destinations that suited us, uncovering hidden gems along the way. Rachel, Skip’s wife, was also a big part of making our experience special. She was so easy to deal with when we were booking the tour, making the entire process seamless. As an added bonus, we even got to visit a winery where Rachel worked, and her warmth and hospitality really made our day even more memorable. We visited some incredible wineries, historical villages, and scenic spots that were beyond beautiful, all thanks to Skip’s deep knowledge of the area. His warm personality and attention to detail made us feel so comfortable and special throughout the entire tour. It genuinely felt like a bespoke adventure curated just for us. This was without a doubt one of the best days we’ve ever had, and it made our anniversary celebration even more memorable, Skip even surprised us with a bottle of wine for our anniversary. If you’re looking for an exclusive, tailored experience through Barossa Valley, Skip and Rachel are the people to go with. Highly recommended we loved everything about this day and would not hesitate to book again.

The way to see Barossa Valley is to take a tour and let someone else drive so you can taste all the magnificent wines. There are a few private tour companies. All of them around the same price and not cheap but worth it. We opted with Big Red Vintage tours. Skip picked us up on time, in fact he was early which was great. He has a wonderful vintage English Black cab painted in red! Spacious inside for the two of us and a fun way to see the valley. There were a few wineries we wanted to visit and then we let Skip guide us and take us around. We went to beautiful wineries all different sizes , all with beautiful gardens . We did about 4 wineries and a tawny place which was really delish and a cool place if you like fortified wine. We stopped at a beautiful place for lunch. Lunch is not included and either are the tastings. One tasting we did not have to pay as they knew Skip. The others were minimal , anywhere from $10-20 AUS per person. That is usually waved with a purchase and the wineries ship all over the world. We got to see Luhrs Cottage which if you are a history buff you will love this old Cottage from 1850. Skip was knowledgeable, friendly and obliging. Highly recommend touring the Barossa with Skip from Big Red Vintage tours.

Had an amazing day- Skip tailored the day and was flexible to get the best out of the day for us. His local knowledge also got us to places we would never have thought to go to on our own. Would strongly recommend and will definitely consider doing it again!
