Hi Liza. Thank you so much for your very positive review of your Speed Grazing experience. I'm always thrilled to know my guests have enjoyed a great time. Looking forward to you and your friends returning for an afternoon tour next time. Cheers Loris
Fantastic morning on the tour yesterday. Loris the owner was full of local knowledge and passion for the Swan Valley. She didn't rush us, so we took an extra hour to get around all the stops. Most of the stops were for sweet treats. Would consider doing the afternoon tour too if I had a bit more time in Perth!
Thanks Hanna for your insightful review. You're correct in your observation .... the morning tour is regarded as the sweeter option of the two tours on offer. The afternoon tour includes savoury treats like cheeses, olives etc. Next time you're in Perth please join me again. In the meantime safe travels and thank you for making my Speed Grazing Food Wine & Cider morning tour such fun. Cheers
We had a fabulous morning. Our guide Loris was knowledgeable, accommodating and the little touches she adds to the day made it even more special. We had such a variety of tastings at exceptional venues. The hosts at all the tasting venues were welcoming and passionate about their enterprise. Loved the Aboriginal gallery Maalinup & the Funk cider stop. Although it’s speed tasting - we did not need lunch afterwards - we simply couldn’t fit in any more on our tastebuds!!
Thanks Mary Anne for your outstanding review. I love the detail you have provided and your appreciation of the special Swan Valley people you met along your Speed Grazing journey. I'll make sure my Taste Bud Team are made aware of your enjoyment. Until we meet again ..... cheers Loris
Thank you Loris for a fantastic day was great to fit in seeing so many places in the swan valley in just a morning, lots of great mini experiences!
Thanks Bianca for your thoughtful review. I love the term "mini experiences" ... very creative. Hoping you might consider joining me for an afternoon tour next time you're in Perth. Wishing you safe and happy travels. Cheers Loris
