My wife, Ros, and I went on a tour of Spain and Portugal with Richard Smart...If you want a kaleidoscope of alternatives in the world of viticulture and wine making this is the way to do it. Besides that, you interact with a group of people who share a common ambition and trade lots of ideas...and have a lot of fun.
Erl Happ

 

"Travelling with Dr Smart was like having Tiger Woods explain the greens at Pebble Beach....or Robert de Niro critique his latest movie over dinner...The Smart Tour was in -person, at extraordinary places, in the company of like-minded enthusiasts, explained and debriefed by the best in his field. It couldn't have been more worthwhile."
Linda Bramble, wine educator/writer

 

"I have been lucky enough to participate in two of Richard Smart's international educational tours. They have given me a meaningful insight into the world of Wines and Vines. It has enabled me to begin to understand where the Australian wine industry fits into the international scene and to assess our relative skills in marketing, viticulture and oenology. Richard Smart's reputation opened doors that would not have otherwise been opened. This enabled us to meet and learn from industry leaders, innovators and creative thinkers at wineries and vineyards on both tours."
Keith Graham, Harewood Estate 

 

"I enrolled in College in a Coach and attended at Yarra Valley October 99 which was excellent. I found the information started off basic and shot off exponentially into new territory.......It was extremely educational. A huge amount of ground was covered......The layout, Richard's knowledge, the odd guest speaker, and the manual set up worked extremely well....Gettting off your own dung hill and seeing the bigger picture....is a very powerful tool in keeping one on track."
George Vasey

 

"I attended your College in a Coach at Mudgee October 97...we intended planting a vineyard...I found the seminar very educational and very beneficial.  You are an expert in viticulture and an excellent teacher.  I gained a lot from attending the course."
Allen Davies

 

"I attended one (of your College in a Coach courses) in Mudgee where I enjoyed the informal nature...as well as ...learning invaluable information. I still refer to the course handbook...The visits to the vineyards in and around Mudgee were also a great way to see first hand the practical side of the things we learnt in the classroom."
Cameron Delahunty

 

"I have no hesitation in recommending the College in a Coach course to anyone currently in or entering into the industry...I found the content...to be an excellent blend of the practical and theoretical aspects of viticulture. An international perspective and the opportunity to meet and socialise with others in the industry adds to the overall enjoyment."
