What a fantastic day spent with these legends on a private full day tour of Coonawarra. Our guests were staying at the award winning in Mount Gambier and wanted a relaxing day out enjoyed fine wines and fabulous dining at .

The morning started a little drizzled but that didn't deter us in the slightest. What was disappointing was just missing the last train out of Coonawarra that left around 30 years ago!

Ending the day with a Greek coffee at is always a highlight. Our wonderful host, Chris Raidis, had Eric and Nola in stitches as we shared stories about all things Raidis – from wine and coffee to the delicious Greek treats he so generously shared.

Our tours are all about connecting you with the people of our region, and every day brings new friendships and unforgettable moments.

Thank you, Chris, for your warm hospitality! ☕

Simon recently had the privilege of hosting US wine journalist Christina Pickard on the Limestone Coast on behalf of Wine Australia. Christina has been on an extensive wine journey through South Australia, exploring several renowned regions, including this captivating part of the state.

We had the pleasure of escorting our guest, Christina, from McLaren Vale to Mount Gambier and onwards to Coonawarra, where she had the opportunity to sample some of our finest wines and meet with the producers. The journey concluded with a return trip to Adelaide for the next leg of her travels. It was wonderful to meet and spend time with Christina, and we’re eagerly looking forward to reading her upcoming articles!

Our thanks to Wine Australia for allowing us to play a small role in this amazing SA wine journey.

Our UK guests had an unforgettable day exploring our region, rounded off with an authentic experience—a cuddle with some adorable joeys.

Our Swiss guests are in the midst of a 3-month adventure across Australia, and we’re thrilled they chose to include our slice of paradise on their journey. Their next stop in their campervan exploration is the breath-taking Riverland region.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting some South Australian Tourism Commission global tourism managers from New Zealand, Singapore, and China, who joined us for a 3-day famil of the Limestone Coast. The team were in the region in the lead-up to the SATC Global Markets Industry Forum held in Adelaide.

From the rugged beauty of our coastline to the stunning Blue Lake, this trip highlighted some of the region’s most captivating natural wonders. We also explored our world-class wine and gourmet food offerings, enjoyed intimate insights into generational farming families now stepping into the luxury accommodation market, and were immersed in authentic Indigenous experiences.

These famils are an essential part of promoting our beautiful region and showcasing what makes the Limestone Coast a truly unique destination. Our guests are now well-equipped to share the best of what we offer with trade and agents back in their home countries.

Thanks to our international colleagues for your enthusiasm! We can't wait to see the Limestone Coast feature on even more itineraries around the world soon.

Thank you once again to our amazing local partners, we can't do what we do without you.

The Problem: Recently, we hosted visitors from the Czech Republic who left a message in our guestbook. The challenge? We couldn’t read it. Were they pleased with their stay? Disappointed? Or just neutral?

The Solution: A quick upload to ChatGPT solved the mystery, translating it to say, “A beautiful, magical place. We will take many memories with us, which will stay with us for many more years. Thank you very much!”

Not only were we thrilled to read such kind words, but this also underscored how invaluable ChatGPT has become as a tool for our business.

*(We hope the translation is accurate!)
