Personalised luxury travel experiences

Discover Tasmania’s unique wilderness

Tasmania is a haven of diverse wildlife and wilderness. It’s a place of both rolling grasslands and stark mountain peaks, where you may find yourself trekking through misty rainforest one day and strolling atop bright orange boulders on a white sand beach the next. On a personalised tour with Pepper Bush Adventures, you can discover the nature, animals and attractions that interest you most. Set out in search of elusive creatures like the Tasmanian devil or platypus, explore the intriguing mix of modern and rustic as you sip sparkling wine at a cellar door or stand beneath a multi-tier waterfall as it thunders onto the rocks around you. Choose between day tours and multi-day adventures, or embark on one night of exciting nocturnal nature.

Pepper Bush Adventures offer fully customisable tours with small - or private - groups, ensuring you experience the Tasmania that exhilarates you.

Sip wine with a personal touch

Australia’s wine regions are famous for bold shiraz, beautiful semillon, exciting riesling and enticing cabernet. They’re great to taste at a cellar door or in a restaurant, and equally thrilling is experiencing them with a personal touch. Seppeltsfield in South Australia’s famed Barossa Valley offers wine experiences entirely customised to reflect memorable moments in your life. Sip vintage tawny from the year of your birth straight from the barrel on a Taste your Birth Year experience, where you’ll join one of the estate’s wine educators in the renowned Centennial Cellar. Or, choose five important moments from your life and taste the accompanying vintages, bringing your memories back in beautiful fashion.

Less than a 30-minute drive from Adelaide at Penfolds Magill Estate, the Adelaide Hills’ most iconic winery, you’ll join Penfolds Global Ambassador for a behind-the-scenes private look at this true icon of the global wine scene on a VIP experience. The tour begins with a visit to the Grange Cottage, which was the original home of Dr Christopher and Mary Penfolds and dates back to the 1840s. You’ll then walk through underground tunnels and vintage cellar before beginning a private vintage tasting and barrel sampling. Then, enjoy a five-course, wine-matched degustation in a private setting and take home a personalised bottle of the beloved Penfolds Grange.

Indulge in fashion fitted to you

Today, RM Williams is an internationally-recognised footwear and clothing brand, but it began as a simple idea by the campfire in the Australian outback. On a VIP tour of the RM Williams workshop in the South Australian capital of Adelaide, you’ll learn about the legacy of the iconic RM Williams boots - and how their creator became an outback legend. You’ll see first-hand the intricate processes that make RM Williams genuinely impeccable, and at the end of your tour, you’ll be personally fitted with a pair to take home.

An even more immersive experience can be found in The Tailor’s three-day Follow in an Outback Legend’s Footsteps journey. Beyond an exclusive workshop tour and personally-fitted boots, you’ll also take off in a private plane to stare down at South Australia’s stunning Lake Eyre, stay in an iconic outback pub and trace RM Williams’ personal history as you meet outback characters with the same ‘true blue’ attitude as Williams himself.
