About Us

Growing from one bus, one explorer, and a big dream in 2016, Wine Explorer Tours now operates eight mini-buses, with twelve staff, and even a guesthouse in the Mudgee CBD!

In May 2021, Wine Explorer Tours branched out into Orange, bringing locals and visitors alike to the best wineries the Orange region has to offer.

Under the direction of founder and chief exploring officer Bronny Parry, Wine Explorer Tours has become part of the fabric of the Central West’s wine culture. It was a trip to Peru, and both the genuine kindness and quality service of the Peruvian people, that inspired Bronny to build what is now Wine Explorer Tours. Bronny’s goal was to bring that sense of connection and joy to her own business, and with continued growth and expansion, Bronny’s dreams have become a reality.

We invite you to experience the friendly, fun, and heartfelt ethos of Wine Explorer Tours on your next visit to Mudgee and Orange. We promise you’ll make memories to last a lifetime.

While we try to take you to wineries where tasting fees are kept to a minimum, please budget $5.00 for Mudgee Wineries, and $10.00 for Orange Wineries.
