Vino Rosso Tours

Vino Rosso Tours was started by Ross, who grew up in the Southern Highlands and turned a habit of driving friends between cellar doors into a business. The philosophy hasn't changed: every guest should feel like they're being shown around by an old friend who happens to know exactly which winery you'll love.

Private days are fun, flexible and tailored — Ross plans the itinerary, then keeps it relaxed enough to let your group linger where you're happy. Expect the little touches reviewers rave about: a glass of sparkling when he picks you up, a cheese platter along the way and reserved VIP seating at the cellar doors. Pick-ups run across the Southern Highlands and Kangaroo Valley.

With more than 20 cellar doors, breweries and distilleries within reach, the Southern Highlands rewards a guide who knows it intimately. Vino Rosso regulars are taken to favourites like Bendooley Estate, Cherry Tree Hill and Joadja, often capped with a local's stop such as the Burrawang Hotel — the kind of itinerary that makes visitors feel like locals for a day.

The difference is genuinely local hosting. As a Southern Highlands native, Ross trades the fixed-route formula for relationships and storytelling, building each day around your group rather than a timetable. Newer additions like the Kangaroo Valley Experience extend that local lens for visitors wanting the heart of regional Australia.

Vino Rosso runs half-day, full-day and multi-day options, plus social join-a-tour days, corporate groups, golf-and-taste days and wedding transport. They're based in the Southern Highlands and Kangaroo Valley — about 1.5 hours from Sydney and Canberra, and 45 minutes from Wollongong. Pricing depends on format and group size, so reach out for a quote.
