The Heart
of the Vine
Welcome to a journey beyond the bottleshop. Discover the soul of Port Macquarie through guided private wine tours tailored for small, intimate groups.


Cultivated wine mastery
My journey began as a young student, then in France, where time spent among the vines and conversations with winemakers shaped the way I understand and share wine.
Today, I share that passion by introducing others to the wines, stories and people that make the Hastings River region so special.
With years of leading private tastings and a deep understanding of local wine making, I enjoy crafting intimate, boutique experiences that deepen your appreciation of wine.
MY story
A love affair with the grape
As a struggling student I took a job at a local bottle shop. I didn't like wine, but many people sought help, so I asked the boss for help, and began learning about wine. After several months, finally came that lightbulb moment when I understood. An affair with the grape ensued, including wine education in France, and later hosting of wine appreciation courses.
