A Few Things We've Been Up To Since 2018
We're Not Your Normal Tour Company
Most tours show you places. We show you stories.
Past adventures have included:
A wine tasting inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (yes, really)
A 25,000-mile pub crawl around the world
Many visits to hidden ex-Soviet regions most tourists never reach
A crazy No-Itinerary Tour where the locals decided what happened next
A Red Horse beer fuelled karaoke marathon in the Philippines
A Greek island hopping wine adventure with a well travelled boat and a very reliable corkscrew
Many long lunches that accidentally turned into long dinners
Wine Tasting Surfing in Portugal. Sadly the waves won
A worrying number of "just one more" moments
As Seen In
"Perfect mix of incredible drinks, great food, and lots of laughs."

What Actually Happens?
Six things. All of them good.
You Drink Incredible Things
Wine, beer and local favourites you've never tried before. That one bottle nobody forgets.
You Meet Fantastic Humans
Winemakers, brewers and fellow travellers who don't stay strangers for long.
You Eat Very Well
Lunch that accidentally becomes dinner. Zero regrets (mostly).
You Discover Hidden Gems
Hidden vineyards, backstreet bars and the kind of spots that don't exist on Google.
Things Don't Always Go to Plan (Thankfully)
The best moments usually start with "this wasn't on the itinerary…"
You Leave With Stories
New favourites, newfound expertise and stories that improve every time you tell them.
Why Tipple Tours?
We Actually Know Our Drinks
No scripts. No waffle. That one bottle nobody forgets.
Small Groups = Big Vibes
8-12 people. No megaphones. A table you don't want to leave.
Real Access
The kind of places you don't find... unless someone takes you there.
No Rigid Itineraries
There's a plan. We just don't let it get in the way of a good time.
You're Not a Tourist
You're the guest. The one they open the good bottles for.
Founder-Led Tours
Hosted by someone who's done the "research" so you don't have to.
