Discover Uncorked Wine Tours - Your Gateway To The World

Unique Wine Tours

Experience the best of the world’s wine regions with our small group tours. Our unique itineraries are crafted for wine lovers and connoisseurs seeking behind-the-scenes access, exclusive tastings, and unforgettable encounters in the heart of iconic vineyards. 


At Uncorked, we curate journeys that go beyond the cellar door. Each tour is thoughtfully designed to immerse you in the local terroir, culture, and cuisine—connecting you with winemakers, chefs, and passionate locals who bring each destination to life. Whether you're sipping Grand Cru in Bordeaux or exploring boutique estates in Italy, our focus is on authenticity, quality, and creating extraordinary experiences that linger long after the last glass is poured. 

Beyond Travel, Towards Transformation

Unparalleled Access

Intellectual Enrichment

Unparalleled Access

This is our foundational promise: entry into the inner sanctum of the world’s most revered wine estates. This is not a standard tasting room visit. This is a private conversation with the head winemaker of a First Growth Bordeaux estate. It is a vertical tasting from the barrel with the owner of an iconic Super Tuscan property. It is exploring the private cellars of a Grand Cru Burgundy domain, places of pilgrimage that remain closed to the public. We take you beyond the velvet rope, into the very heart of winemaking history 

Curated Serendipity

Intellectual Enrichment

Unparalleled Access

  We believe the magic of discovery is amplified when shared. Unlike a solitary private trip, an Uncorked journey unfolds within a temporary community of peers—a travelling salon of 8 to 16 like-minded connoisseurs. The group is small enough to remain intimate and flexible, yet large enough to foster dynamic conversation, shared enthusiasm, and lasting connections. It is in these unscripted moments, sharing a rare bottle over dinner with new friends who share your passion, that a great trip becomes an unforgettable one.

Intellectual Enrichment

Intellectual Enrichment

Intellectual Enrichment

 Our journeys are more than a series of tastings; they are educational masterclasses led by a genuine expert. Your host weaves together the complex tapestry of a region—its history, geology, culture, and the personalities that define its wines. You will not merely taste the wine; you will understand the 'why' behind it. This deep intellectual component is designed for the curious mind, elevating simple consumption to genuine connoisseurship and providing a richer, more meaningful connection to the place and its people. 

Meet Your Host, Ken

Ken Gargett is an acclaimed Australian wine writer and critic based in Brisbane, Queensland. After studying law at the University of Queensland and gaining experience in London and Washington, D.C., Ken transitioned to journalism and became a full-time freelance writer. He has contributed extensively to publications such as The Courier-Mail, World of Fine Wine, Quill & Pad, Drinks Trade, Fine Magazine, Halliday Magazine, Ocean Magazine, Tastingbook, and WinePilot. 

As a former editor of Fine Wine & Champagne Australia/New Zealand, Ken has been a regular wine columnist since 1999, and is highly regarded in the wine community.

 Beyond wine, Ken writes on cigars, travel, fishing, and food. His personal blog, Kenfessions, explores these interests with wit and depth. When he’s not writing, Ken is often fly-fishing for trout in New Zealand or bonefishing in Cuba, relaxing with a fine cigar, or passionately following sports teams like the Broncos, Washington Commanders, Queensland Reds, Arsenal FC, and the Australian cricket side.

The Ideal Traveller: Is This Journey for You?

Our journeys are designed for a specific type of traveller. We believe the quality of the experience is defined not only by the destination, but by the company you keep. Please consider if the following resonates with you:

  • Is wine more than a drink to you? Is it a field of connoisseurship, a connection to history, culture, and place?
  • Do you believe the most memorable moments often come from unscripted conversations and shared discoveries?
  • Do you seek not just a vacation, but a journey that offers genuine personal growth and intellectual enrichment?
  • Do you value the company of peers who share your passion and curiosity, and who can elevate your understanding?
