Beds, Booze & Beyond

Okay, let’s be honest: it’s not going to be the Ritz. There’s no butler waiting at the door with a silver tray of truffles. But it’s also definitely not sleeping in a wine barrel. (Unless you specifically ask for that. In which case…we admire your commitment.)


Here’s the lowdown on where you’ll be resting your weary, wine-soaked head:


  • Clean, comfy beds – Perfect for collapsing into after a long day of “cultural research” (a.k.a. wine tastings, brewery crawls and that one round of karaoke you swore you wouldn’t do).
  • Central locations – Our digs are always smack in the middle of the action. Translation: you won’t need a PhD in Google Maps to stumble home. Your calves and your dignity will thank us.
  • Air con & WiFi – At some point, you will attempt to FaceTime your mum after three glasses of Cabernet to show off your “new family.” She’ll smile politely, squint at the screen and then ask if you’re eating vegetables. You’ll also use the WiFi to post photos captioned “just one drink tonight” (spoiler: it wasn’t).
  • Roommates – No solo isolation here. You’ll share rooms with fellow legends who signed up for the same blend of culture, chaos and questionable dance moves.
  • Bathrooms – With actual hot showers as beer sweat is real and no one wants to sit next to “that guy” on the bus.


Look, it’s not luxury — it’s better. It’s fun, functional and the kind of accommodation that makes sense when your days are crammed with vineyards, breweries, street food and hidden taverns. The rooms? They’re where you recharge, swap gossip, laugh until your face hurts and maybe cry a little when you realise the trip is nearly over.

Survival Tips

Accommodation on Tipple Tours is comfy, clean and central…but let’s be honest, the real adventure is who you’re sharing it with.


So here are our survival tips to keep you alive, hydrated and friends with your roommates.


  • Befriend the Snack Dealer. There’s always one person who packed crisps, biscuits or emergency M&Ms. Protect this person at all costs.
  • Claim a Bed Early: First rule of touring: the early bird doesn’t just get the worm - they get the bed furthest from the snorer.
  • Bring Earplugs. Someone will snore like a chainsaw after a brewery crawl. Spoiler: it might be you.
  • Charge Strategically. One plug socket, two roommates. This is where diplomacy is tested harder than the UN.
  • Respect the Bathroom Door. If someone’s been in there for “a while,” do not investigate. Light a candle, say a prayer, move on.
  • Keep Your Key Safe. Lose your room key once? Cute. Twice? Legendary. Three times? You’re officially sleeping in reception.
  • Don’t Steal the Blanket. Nothing destroys international friendships faster than blanket theft. Share the blanket, share the love.
  • Always Say Yes to Balcony Drinks. Your room’s balcony isn’t just for drying socks. It’s the perfect place for late-night bonding, questionable life advice and shouting “CHEERS” at strangers below.


Tipple Tours accommodation isn’t about five-star hotels. It’s about five-star memories. And possibly one-star roommate reviews. But that’s the fun of it, trust us.
