Testimonials
I had a very enjoyable day visiting some of the special sites and wineries in the beautiful Macedon Ranges region. Brian was able to accommodate me in establishing an itinerary at short notice and provided excellent service.
His vehicle is very clean and comfortable and he has great local area knowledge. He also offered me suggestions for places to visit during my other days. Highly recommend Cool Climate Tours. Thanks, Brian for a great day
Planned a customised tour with Brian for the 3 days we were in Hanging Rock. He was meticulous and thoughtful throughout the planning process.
The highlight of the trip, apart from the Nick Cave concert, was visiting his farmhouse and enjoying a lovely homemade meal on the verandah overlooking rolling hills, green pastures, and grazing sheep and alpacas. We even got to feed the sheep!
We made the best of the trip and Brian’s recommendations for food and drink were all spot on.
I highly recommend Cool Climate Tours - a wonderful way to see the best wineries, distilleries and scenery of the Macedon area.
Brian is a local who knows the area well, and he is flexible and accommodating, with a lovely vehicle.
From our first contact with Brian, my husband and I were thoroughly impressed by his care in finding out what we were interested in, his local knowledge, and the wonderful day that he put together for us so thoughtfully.
Brain’s calm driving and comfortable SUV made for complete peace of mind, so we could relax and focus on enjoying a range of fantastic cellar doors, gin tasting, and a delicious lunch featuring local produce, as well as enjoying all the scenery we drove past.
Brian also made some really helpful suggestions about other things we could do during our stay in the Macedon Ranges, and they were all winners. We would recommend Cool Climate Tours without hesitation.
We had a great tour with Brian - great service, a comfortable car and Brian was very knowledgeable about the local area and recommended some great places to taste wine.
Also fabulous lunch rec at Passing Clouds- superb!
In addition, when talking to Brian about our weekend, he took us to a great restaurant for dinner on Friday night and picked us up afterwards!
Fabulous service and saved the debate about driving home. Highly recommend Brian and the service!
One of the best wine tours we have been on in Australia. Brian is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Within a few minutes of meeting us, he recommended some wines we might especially enjoy and he was spot on. The lunch spot was also an excellent recommendation that we thoroughly enjoyed.
We knew very little about the region before this tour but are now converts and will be back to visit all the other places Brian listed for us.
We thoroughly recommend Cool Climate Tours, there were four in our party and Brian took care of everything from pick up to drop off.
His local knowledge of what wineries would best suit us, where we could grab lunch and other sights to see that we never even thought of was priceless. Easy with no fuss and memorable. Thanks, Brian!
Brian was able to accommodate us despite our short notice and delivered an exceptional experience for my wife and I.
We thoroughly enjoyed his relaxed and friendly approach and excellent knowledge of the local area, the people and the places. We had a great time tasting at some of the local cellar doors and Brian's choice for lunch was exceptional.
We highly recommend the type of bespoke service that Brian offers; the car was lovely and comfortable and our day was personalised, friendly and very much "our day, our way". Thanks again Brian for a great day out, you went out of your way to make sure we were looked after and it was very much appreciated.
Recently I had a dilemma on what to do to celebrate my sisters’ birthday.
Brian was highly recommended to me to provide one of his wonderful winery tours. Must admit the day turned out well and was beyond my initial expectations.
Brian arrived on time in a beautiful, well maintained, Mercedes SUV. (Spotlessly clean)
I have lived in the Macedon Ranges for close to 60 years and Brian had the knowledge and the ability to take us to places I have never been to or heard of before.
It was a wonderful relaxing day and Brian made us feel very special. We enjoyed beautiful wines along the way and had a gorgeous lunch at Glen Erin Winery.
If you want to have a lovely day out with your friends or family, I strongly suggest you consider Cool Climate Tours as an option.
By the way, I personally believe the experience is money well spent.
Cannot recommend Brian and his Cool Climate Tours more.
This was our second tour with Brian and the way he personalised our tour was perfect.
Brian is always interested in what’s happening in our lives and gave us an insight into his.
These tours are always a delight, and we will be back again. Thank you so much!
