Do yourself a favour and tune in to:
Christmess movie on Binge and Foxtel!!

A HUGE congratulations to our local Macarthur production company Brick Studios, our local venues including The Beer Shed Brewing Co and of course my oldest son Jake who was very fortunate to be able to work on this film.

I love it when things come full circle… 💕
These gorgeous ladies are my work mates from my previous day job. The girls decided that they would like to come along on a tour, prior to me finishing up in December.

It was my absolute pleasure to host them and show them around the Southern Highlands.

We went to a few of our fave cellar doors and had a delicious lunch at Bendooley Estate (pictured here).

Thank you for making my day, girls!!
I bet I’m way more fun when I’m bringing you wine, than I was being a manager at work 😂

Happy Birthday Marnie!!!!

Thank you for spending your Birthday with me.
I’m so glad you guys had a great day!
It was so lovely to meet you all xx

Marnie and her beautiful friends visited some of our fave cellar doors. (seen here with Dawning Day mascot Kevin). The Highlands are truly stunning at this time of year… We had a lot of sun but the weather was a little chilly and the cellar doors accommodated with some beautiful indoor fires 🔥

Send me a PM for my remaining tour dates!

Congratulations to the team at PepperGreen Estate

I’ve been super excited to revisit their cellar door, as these guys have a stunning new tasting room in their premises. PepperGreen also have their own extra virgin olive oil range, in addition to their stellar dining experience. The PepperGreen experience is certainly one of a kind in the Highlands!

If you’re in Berrima, I’d highly recommend stopping in for a visit and a sip or 2 of their delicious wine!

What a perfect sunny day!!

Yesterday, I had an absolute hoot with Andrea and her extended family. Thank you for choosing to tour with me 😊😊

These guys tried lots of different blends of wines and finished the day with a distillery visit.

I really hope you all enjoyed your day in the Highlands.

It is with a heavy heart that I am officially bringing Vino Ventures to a close…
My last tour date will be in December 2023.

A little over 3 years ago, with my kids getting older and more free time on my hands, I wanted to create something that I could truly be proud of. I also wanted to teach my kids that you can achieve any goal that you put your time and passion in to!
My aim was to travel with people from our community, and help them experience something exciting right on our door step.

Over the last 18 months I’ve learned that between my family, my day job and the tours- there’s just not enough room for the healing journey that I need to take. I need to be able to invest more time in to my family and recovery from our very significant personal loss.

The tours have been a wonderful experience and seeing all of your smiling faces truly makes my day.

A HUGE Thank You to you all for supporting my small business from near and from afar! Thank you to the wonderful people in the Southern Highlands who have embraced and encouraged me from day 1.
I can’t explain how much joy and confidence this experience overall has added to my life.

Please take a peek at my final dates, below-
I’d love to see you on the bus before I close up for good!

- 2023 CAMDEN LOCAL BUSINESS AWARDS-

We didn’t come away with the win last night, however being voted as a finalist in our local community and hearing such great feedback from my customers really makes me feel like a winner already!

I’d love to take this opportunity to congratulate Helloworld Travel Narellan on being the winners in the tourism and accommodation category 👏🏼

Thank you to my customers, our community and especially my family and friends for your ongoing support of my small business. What a beautiful community we have!

Ps. Yes- I recycled a photo from a tour 😂
Unfortunately we missed out on the event tickets.

—— TURNING POINT CAMDEN ——

Turning Point Camden Inc.

These guys are a fantastic Macarthur based not-for-profit community welfare and drop in centre.

I came across Turning Point as part of my day job a few years ago, and I immediately felt as though I was meeting with genuine and humble people.

The organisation is run by a beautiful crew who really care about our community and they have an army of volunteers ready to assist.

In their own words:
Turning Point exists to plant the seed of hope through acts of encouragement, support and empowerment. To approach each individual without judgement and through personal growth and community connections, enable a person to reach a turning point in their life.

In our increasingly tough economic climate, increase in illnesses and loss off employment over the past few years- the resources of such an organisation will always be stretched to their limits. Doing our little bit for the community- and if everyone can do a little bit… you end up with a lot!

From January 2023 onwards, Vino Ventures has been proud to support this special organisation by providing supplies for their Food Pantry and for every person who comes along on my tour, we donate $10 worth of pantry items to Turning Point.

Please join me on a tour, to not only have a fabulous day out but also to assist in supporting our local community.

What an awesome surprise!!
Vino Ventures has been voted as a finalist for the Camden local business awards 2023.

Thank you to whoever it was who nominated me and for those who have put in votes. I’m so excited!!

My business started as an idea around 4 years ago and quickly snowballed. Starting during Covid and having many personal ups and downs ever since. My tours are something I’m super passionate about and really proud of.

Thank you to our wonderful community, for your positivity and support ###x

Have you had a great experience with us? 😊

If you have a few spare moments, I would greatly appreciate it if you could post a Facebook or Trip Advisor review.

It is so helpful for small businesses to have feedback in order to improve or change the way we do things as well as letting potential tour guests know how much fun you had!

Thank you so much for your time!

Cheers to 20 years 🥂
Yesterday I had the pleasure of hosting Dr Campbell and his wonderful team, celebrating 20 years in business with a day in the Highlands.

This beautiful group were some of the first people who I spoke with about my idea for running the tours, and it was so lovely for them to see it all in action.

We had spectacular weather and the team tried lots of delicious wines as well as a wonderful lunch at Vault House in Berrima (pictured).

Thank you for choosing to tour with me!
It was wonderful to catch up with you all 🍷

Sarah and I have been friends for almost 30yrs.
Her Mum and my Mum are best friends…
These friendships are the kind where you catch up and it feels like no time has passed.

We’ve actually been on and off trying to catch up since about 2016 and yesterday, it finally happened! Sarah and her crew enjoyed a beautiful but chilly day with me in the Highlands.

The leaves are changing colour, it’s truly beautiful and lot of the cellar doors have open fires and blankets to ensure that you have a comfortable experience at this time of year. It’s lovely!!!!

Thanks again to Sarah for booking with me 🍷
It was so nice to see you.

Kristina, you have incredible patience!!
Thank you 💕
I hope your day trip was worth the wait 😊

Kristina purchased a Christmas gift voucher back in 2021, with the hopes that she and her husband could come along to a public tour, sharing the bus with other guests. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to find a date to suit other guests as well as this lovely couple, and combined with me taking a few months away from tours last year we just couldn’t find a date that would work. I felt awful for their long wait, so I offered Kristina and Shaun a personalised tour of the Highlands and showed them all of our fave cellar doors, as well as a sneaky ice cream stop on the way home...

I hope you enjoy your new fave wine blends at home and I hope to see you both back again for more laughs and sight seeing, one day.

A wonderful day, supporting Youth Solutions with beautiful members of our community 🌸

Recently I attended the Charity High Tea and loved witnessing the generosity from so many local businesses and individuals…

Youth Solutions are a local Macarthur organisation who provide an amazing service to local youth and their families, raising awareness around the effects of drugs and alcohol as well as referring youth to relevant local services.

I very much look forward to the next event!

Happy 21st Birthday, Darren!!

Darren is one of my eldest sons mates, and it was so much fun to host a tour for their group.

Over the years, i’ve had the pleasure of touring with lots of different ages for Birthday parties but this was my first 21st… These guys tried different blends at a few of our favourite cellar doors and some of the group came out of the day, with a few new favourite wines 🍇

Thanks again to Ash for organising this special day! I’m glad you all had a good time ###x

Joadja Estate
Shout out to the crew at Joadja Estate!
Definitely one of our favourite stops 😊

The oldest vineyard in the Highlands!
Started in 1983 and taken over by the new owners, a beautiful family, in 2016.

Well known for their Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Merlot… my absolute faves are their Moscato Frizzante and delicious Boysenberry Liqueur 🤤

You will be greeted with smiles and on most Saturdays- the bustle of people, sound of live music and the smell of yummy pizzas wafting across their beautiful sunny outdoor area.

Add these guys to your itinerary on your next Highlands trip or if you’re touring with me, don’t forget to ask me to pay them a visit.

Dawning Day
By far, one of our favourite cellars doors!

This family owned and operated micro-vineyard, has many exciting features- a beautiful cellar door, a resident furry mascot; Kevin, on-site accommodation and last but certainly not least… absolutely delicious wine!

Mike and Katrina long dreamed of having their own farm and they have truly smashed it out of the park! Very well known for their Rose, Pinot Noir and Gamay as well as a range of spirits including a Limoncello that was produced with lemons from their very own neighbour 🍋

Hand made farm goodies are also on offer- I can highly recommend their Farmhouse Pickles and Bonfire Hot Sauce 🌶️ which are massive favourites at our house and fly out the doors on my tours.

Dawning Day also donate 10% of all sales to charities that they really believe in- how good is that?

Add them to your itinerary on your next trip to the Highlands or if you’re touring with me, don’t forget to ask to pay them a visit- you won’t regret it!

Oh… this bunch of legends! 🥰
MWLP | Linking Youth
I had the pleasure of meeting these guys 2 years ago for their Christmas party and they were infact one of my first ever tour bookings. This year they decided to come back for their Christmas party again…
I love repeat customers!

We explored all new places today, so that this wonderful team has a full view of the region and all that it has to offer 🍇

Not only are they beautiful people, but they are also incredibly generous. I didn’t realise that they have a connection with our youngest son via him being registered with TAFE through his school program. They surprised me with a cheque for $250 to go towards my chosen charity Turning Point Camden Inc. in honour of our son, Luke, and I was truly blown away! Lots of tears snuck in to the day today 😬

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope to see you all again one day on the bus 💕

— Joadja Distillery—

One of our absolute favourite locations!
This family run, historic venue is an absolute winner. They are one of the only true paddock to bottle distilleries, growing their own barley and sourcing water from their own spring…

Well known for their whisky’s, gins and a variety of other locally made spirits. The landscape is stunning and the multi award winning sprits are clean and delicious. Why not add a Historic tour on to your tasting? Their historic tours are available with a prior booking.

2023 will bring some exciting changes for these guys! … watch this space 🥃

What an awesome local business here in Macarthur! Seta's Cafe Campbelltown

You walk in to Seta’s and you see big smiles and smell yummy coffee…the food is also unreal!
The Brekkie wrap is my fave 🤤

What I love most is the sunny atmosphere and also Seta’s drive to promote local well-being services.

If you are in Campbelltown and looking for somewhere to stop in… I’d highly recommend this little sweet spot.
