Queensland
Renowned for its innovation and commitment to quality, the state's wine industry has earned both national and international acclaim. The most recognized wine-growing areas in Queensland are the Granite Belt and South Burnett. These regions are known for producing wines of international standard, with the Granite Belt particularly noted for its exceptional vintages. Other emerging wine regions within Queensland include Scenic Rim, Gold Coast Hinterlands, Sunshine Coast Hinterlands, and Darling Downs.
Beyond the vineyards, be sure to experience the Daintree Rainforest, local Aboriginal cultures, and unique wildlife.

Cruise Along the Daintree River
Features
Snaking through the heart of the area, the densely populated mangrove estuary is home to an abundance of wildlife. We may see a snake laying on a branch of a tree, a green tree frog, or an estuarine crocodile. During your shared or private cruise, you will slowly glide along the Daintree River while a local guide shares their knowledge about the unique tropical ecosystem. The estuarine crocodile is of particular interest being the largest of all living reptiles and an iconic Australian animal. These saltwater crocodiles are hyper-carnivorous apex predators.

I waited 50 years to travel to France. I imagined every detail to make my dream trip come true. I needed help in making the dream a reality.
From my first phone call to IntoThe Vineyard and meeting Morgan, to actually sitting in a vineyard in Provence sipping a chardonnay, they held my hand and planned each beautiful step. They listened to me and tailored exactly the trip I wanted. I chose to do it as a solo trip but never felt alone. The accommodations, drivers, and details all made for a flawless first-time international trip.

Madison Dreith and her team did an outstanding job of arranging a memorable visit to the Bordeaux region of France, as well as a one-day "foodie" tour of Paris. It was so easy to enjoy the trip when we had drivers who knew the area to take us to the different wineries. The restaurants selected for us to have our lunches were outstanding as well. Into the Vinyard allowed us to fully enjoy our time in Bordeaux.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour in Bordeaux. This tour was in August so we know it was a challenge. But their delivery was World Class.The service people lined up by Into the Vineyard were engaging, thoughtful and respectful. The two hotels, although small both in number of rooms and room size, were quaint. Their breakfasts and afternoon beverage arrangements were a nice touch. The specific wine tours had much more of an educational tone to them as compared with other wine tours we experienced previously. A unique aspect of the week was a side boat trip in Archachon. It was an interesting break from the wine tours and the boat captain was incredibly humorous. Recommend this tour and this tour company highly!

Booked us an amazing trip to Champagne and Corsica. We were so impressed by the quality of the hotels they recommended and the guides they paired us up with. Not only did they arrange fantastic tours of well-known wineries but also small independent ones. Super professional and their attention to detail was great. Corsica was suggested to us and was everything we wanted and more!

We just had an amazing trip to France/Spain to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. I want to thank Into the Vineyard as they picked wonderful spots for us to stay along with some amazing adventures.
Colin heard our desires and was able to point us in the right direction so that we could enjoy the experience without being constantly on the move. The part I really appreciated was that we wanted wine activities, primarily in Bordeaux, but had enough experience to plan non-wine day tours for us in the other cities, such as a Tapas tour and a cheese/barkery/chocolate tour.
