The Dudes Crew
Margaret River's Coolest Wine Tour Crew...
We might be biased, but we’re pretty sure Wine for Dudes Wine Tours Margaret River have the most rocking crew driving dudes and dudettes around the Margaret River Wine Region! Not only are our team full of personality, they’re worldly, social, and have a huge amount of experience when it comes to wine and tourism! They drink it (a lot!), and live it!
Wine for Dudes are so stoked with their little team, and know that when you jump on board a Wine For Dudes Wine Tour you will be in for a day in your life you will never forget!
So, without further ado, let’s meet the crew…
Chief Dude
John is Wine for Dudes owner and leading tour guide. He’s worked the majority of his adult life in the wine industry, and has a palate to rival some of the finest in the industry! If you’re lucky enough to score a ride with our chief dude, then you’ll be sure to have a day that you’ll never forget! Johnno’s relaxed nature, cheesy jokes, and exceptional wine and regional knowledge ensure his groups always have the most incredible Margaret River experience! Johnno loves a good time, and always has his finger on the pulse of Margaret River’s social scene, or if you’re into surfing or the outdoors, he has all the best tips to ensure you’re living your best life during Margaret River stay!
Kirsty
Admin Manager
Wine for Dudes all-round dudette has been kickin’ with the dudes crew since twenty14, and there’s nothing she hasn’t done! She’s the button presser of our winning awards submissions, the number cruncher, the legal jargon creator, the whip cracker, and she’ll even jump out and take a tour if needed. Thirsty Kirsty is not only a passionate dudes ambassador, but a zealous promoter of the entire Margaret River region! Although less “thirsty” since becoming a mum, Kirst always has time for a Margaret River Chardonnay!
Kerrie
Admin Guru
Kerrie is the tick to our tock! She makes sure there is a guide to drive, and somewhere to go… pretty much the two most important factors to make a Margaret River wine tour successful! Kerrie is a true lateral thinker, always coming up with quirky solutions and itinerary plans, so no tour is ever the same!
Little Jeremy (aka Jez/JC)
Legendary Tour Guide / Admin Dude
He’s actually a fully-grown adult, but he’s younger than the old Jeremy we had, so little Jeremy just kinda stuck! Like all good life-lovers, Jez makes the most of the Margaret River lifestyle, packing his days with surfing, diving, dude-ing and hanging out with his friends and fam! After years cruising the vines, working in wineries, and smashing his degree out, he’s now trying his hand with a few admin shifts as well. A man of many talents our Jez. Yew!
Fran
Legendary Tour Guide
One of the most stylish gals on the planet, with a knack for pairing her lippy and earrings with the red diamond on the Wine for Dudes logo #LOVE! Our girl Fran possesses a contagious energy that’s full of spark. Fran loves the theatre, and has a zest for all the good things in life! Fran’s background in hospitality management means she knows exactly how to make a day in the vines an enjoyable experience for everyone. Onya Fran!
Josh
Legendary Tour Guide
Spending the day with a bunch of frothers is exactly the way to rock Josh’s socks! He’s dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely gives a lot of damns about the service he provides on tour, making Josh a fav amongst our groups. If he’s not working toward big dreams, or cruising the Margaret River region with you frothers, you’ll find Josh hanging out with his doggo. Onya Josh!
Taryn (aka Taz)
Legendary Tour Guide
There seems to be a trend happening with the dudettes on our team, and no, it’s not a pre-requisite or interview question, but here we have another self-confessed Chardy-girl on the team! LOL! But aside from seamlessly blending into the wine-tastes of the team, like the rest of the dudes crew, Taz also possesses a banger personality with with a massive smile, and warmth that lights up every room!
Jannette
Legendary Tour Guide
Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got, I’m still, I’m still Janny from the block! Our girl Janny is never one for dull moments, and knows just how to keep the vibes at a level that everyone enjoys! We think Janny was literally born to hang out with people all day, and aside from her banger personality and witty banter, she actually knows a thing or two about wine… well tbh, she knows a lot of wine, with loads of winery experience and viticulture quals to fill you up with knowledge! Summing up, Janny’s like a little ray of sunshine who connects with everyone like you’ve been besties forever …you’ll love her!
Kim
Legendary Tour Guide
If Kim were a wine, she’d be a bubbles …made from Chardonnay grapes of course! Kim has the smooth sophistication of one of Margaret River’s premium drops …with a POP! Yep, that’s Kim in a nutshell. So, with that in mind, what I’m basically trying to say is Kims a ledge, laden with wine knowledge, so you’ll have a great time with her! 🙂

Rusty P
Legendary Tour Guide

He’s well-known, well-liked, and more than happy to taste test every drop in the region to continually enhance his wine knowledge …it’s a tough gig, but somebody’s got to do it!
Ryan

Our dude Ryan derives from Margaret River’s infamous Hardy family, who are hailed for their long lineage of surfing royalty. Ryan brings a wealth of local knowledge and experience, along with his laid-back hospitality to the dudes crew. A hailed world-champion body border, who also runs a seasonal body-boarding school in Bali, Ryan continues to return to his roots in Margaret river to join the dudes crew and show Margaret River visitors just what makes this place so special!
