Still, sunny days, cool evenings and crystal-clear air, this tour refreshes and revitalizes. Among the towering karri trees, around tranquil waters and all over this region of gently undulating land, there something quite magical going on.

Stellar Southern Forests wines, great coffee and many unique meals made with care and the freshest ingredients you can imagine, fascinating local history and culture, entertaining story-telling farmers all come with their trademark welcoming country hospitality.
Over the past few years, we’ve developed relationships with Southern Forests primary producers and locals alike, they love meeting us as much as we do them. We are fortunate to have gained exclusive access to many farms and businesses to make this a one-of-a-kind experience.
