Forget being herded around in giant buses. At Tipple Tours, we keep it intimate with a maximum of 12 fellow imbibers. It’s the perfect size to swap stories, share toasts and maybe even make a few questionable karaoke duets by the end of the trip. You’re not just another tourist, you’re part of Tipple Tours family!
About Us
Small Groups, Big Cheers
One-of-a-Kind Shenanigans
Our adventures re quirky, offbeat and packed with flavour. Think secret breweries tucked down cobblestone alleys, local winemakers who pour more generously than your grandma at Christmas and food so good you’ll want to write it a love letter. Best of all? Zero stress. Your only job is to show up thirsty.
Tours For Every Taste
Whether you’re into beer flights, wine tastings, foodie feasts or the occasional full-blown pub crawl, we’ve got you covered. Our expert guides aren’t just walking encyclopaedias of booze and bites, they’re also professional fun-makers who’ll keep you entertained between sips. It’s like having a drinking buddy who also knows everything worth knowing. And if you forget what you learned after a few too many sips—don’t worry, we give free refreshers on the next round.
What We Stand For
Yes, we love a good tipple but we also love the planet, local communities and making sure everyone feels welcome at our table. We’re big believers in responsible tourism, inclusivity and leaving each place better than we found it. So, raise a glass with us. At Tipple Tours, it’s not just about where you go, it’s also about who you cheer with along the way!

Meet The Team
Matt Ellis
Chief Sip Officer
Fluent in red, white and rosé, and armed with 25+ years in the wine trade, Matt can turn “just one glass” into a full-blown celebration. He pairs wine with anything (yes, even heartburn) and swears the only thing better than a great bottle is the unforgettable story poured alongside it. He’s never met a cork he couldn’t conquer, a swirl he couldn’t exaggerate or a wine pun he didn’t secretly enjoy. And while wine is his mother tongue, Matt also speaks fluent beer: he can explain the difference between an IPA and a stout using only interpretive dance, believes “lager before wine, you’ll be fine,” and insists hops are just grapes with a gym membership. Matt is also know as Tipple Tours' Head of Lost & Found as he is usually the one who gets lost but always finds the next bar.
