The Benefits of our Virtual Winery Tour!
When you begin your virtual winery tour, here's what you'll gain:
-
Enjoy the winery tour experience all year round. You can enjoy the wines from all over Australia without traveling the country to each
cellar door individually - saving you lots of time and travel costs.
-
Experience the romance of getting your wines direct from where they were made at your own convenience.
Order direct from the winery's cellar
door
and have the wines delivered direct to your door.
-
Be one of a limited group of people who have the opportunity to taste these wines. These wines are made in limited quantities - and
unfortunately, once the stock is gone, that's it!
-
Broaden your wine-tasting experience with more interesting and flavoursome wines. There is no massive blending here to create
the same generic flavoured wines year in year out. It is the personal touch from boutique winemakers that creates the difference.
-
Drink and enjoy the wines you've been looking for but haven't been able to find. You can now easily enjoy the wines you enjoyed on your
last winery tour again and again.
- Share these new wine experiences with your friends -- it will be an interesting topic of conversation!

I haven't Heard of these Wines Before, how do I know if they're any Good?
We understand that everyone's taste-buds are different, especially when it comes to wine. And we believe the wine is only good if you enjoy it:
"The only good wine is the one you like."
Lois Stansberry, St. Supery Vineyards, Nappa Valley, California
And to give you even more confidence, our wine panel has tasted (and enjoyed) all of the wines on offer to ensure they reach the
high quality standards we set.
We know the wines taste great and the quality is good!
We don't just expect you to take our word for it though.
You can read what the wine experts have to say with their "Wine Expert Reviews" for each wine.
And we've also created some interesting tools for you to find the wines that are perfect for you. See
How to Choose a Wine
.
When it comes to boutique wines, simply stated, it is a labour of love that motivates the boutique winemakers to produce such special and
personally appealing wines. The results speak, taste and smell for themselves!
So many of these boutique wines:
-
win numerous medals, awards and trophies - often beating the mass-produced brands,
-
receive reviews of praise from world wide wine experts, such as James Halliday and Huon Hooke, and
- are praised just as highly by average wine lovers.
You'll enjoy these wines! Guaranteed.

How to Choose a Wine
Traditionally, when you walk into a retail store you can only choose a wine by what is on the label, what the bottle looks like or by asking the salesperson to give you a recommendation, which is hardly definitive.
Well, at Boutique Wineries we give you much more information about the boutique wines to help you find a wine that is perfect for you. Here you can:
- Read the winemaker's description, as on the wine label.
- View the image of the wine bottle.
- See a "Wine-Tasting Chart" to match the wines flavours with your taste-buds, e.g. is the wine dry or a sweet, have low or high tannins, low or high acidity, or oaked?
- Find out what foods the wine will complement.
- See how many medals and awards the wine has won!
- See what the wine experts are saying about the wines with the "Wine Expert Reviews".

Price Comparison with Wine Retail Outlets
A common myth about the wines from the smaller wineries is that they are expensive -- but this is not so! Here at Boutique Wineries, 84% of the wines on offer are between $15 and $25 (or even lower) per bottle.
This is on par with the cost of wines in retail outlets BUT you are getting more for your dollar as the wines are uniquely different and will be suited to your individual wine preferences.
