A born and bred Perth local, I’m one half of 'Up Close and Local Tours' which I run with my partner Shannon. Not only do we share a passion for wine, but also a love of supporting our local producers.
We have Perth's smallest 'by the seat' wine tours, with hand-picked venues and itineraries that are personally curated by us. Our small group sizes mean that we can access places that can’t accommodate the larger bus groups, giving you a personalised and 'Up Close' experience - sometimes with the winemaker themselves.
Our tours focus on quality, award-winning producers that offer a genuine and authentic experience that will make you feel like one of the locals. Get to know the families, the history and the stories behind each wine region as we introduce to some of our personal favourites.
Whilst we have both studied wine through the Internationally recognised WSET accreditation programme, our tours can cater to everyone from all walks of life and all knowledge levels, from experts to novices.
For us, it’s all about the details, and we've spent years scouring Perth's wine regions to find you the best local experiences (it’s a tough job – but we love it!). Uncover hidden gems and meet the makers as we explore off-the-beaten-path wineries together.
