About Wine Hopper
Wine Hopper runs winery tours from Canberra into the Murrumbateman wine country, so nobody in the group has to be the designated driver. There are two ways to ride: a flexible hop-on hop-off day, and private tours where the bus belongs to your group. The hop-on hop-off bus leaves the city centre in the morning. You get off at any partner winery, stay for a tasting or a long lunch, and catch the bus again when it comes back around each hour, returning to the city at the end of the day. Partner cellar doors include McKellar Ridge, Murrumbateman Winery, Eden Road, Shaw Estate, The Vintner's Daughter, Clonakilla, Four Winds Vineyard and Dionysus with Woo Chocolate. Some wineries ask for bookings, so it pays to plan the day. Private tours collect the group from a home, hotel or other address in Canberra. Full days run from 10am to 5pm with four tasting stops, and half days from 11am to 4pm with two, each with a restaurant or wood-fired pizza lunch. For celebrations, Wine Hopper builds packages for birthdays, hens, bucks and corporate team days. Each private bus fits up to 24 guests, the team handles the winery bookings, and extras like decorations, a photographer and a custom playlist can be added.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Wine Hopper hop-on hop-off tour work?
The bus leaves the city centre in the morning and loops through Murrumbateman. Hop off at any partner winery, stay as long as you like, then catch the bus when it returns each hour.
How big is a Wine Hopper private group bus?
Each private bus takes up to 24 guests, with a minimum spend equal to 15 people. Larger groups are split across more than one bus.
What do the private winery tours include?
A private vehicle and driver, pick-up from your chosen Canberra address, tastings at two or four wineries and a restaurant or wood-fired pizza lunch, depending on the package and day.
Can we bring our own drinks on the Wine Hopper bus?
No. Licensing laws mean BYO alcohol is not allowed on board, so all the tasting happens at the wineries along the route.
Do Wine Hopper tours run in wet weather?
Yes, tours run in rain, hail or shine. The partner wineries all have indoor tasting rooms, so the day goes ahead whatever the forecast.
