“Claire gave us a wonderful tour of the vines and fabulous tasting. Maurizio was very impressed and felt that Claire was able to impart many fresh and interesting elements about the territory, climate and the history of Margaret River and the particularities of Voyager’s approach. The wines Claire chose demonstrated a beautiful, clear expression of these elements and are wines of great quality.”

“The estate’s sommelier Claire Tonon is one of the finest restaurant wine bosses in WA. Her bounce-on-the-balls-of-your-feet enthusiasm is infectious. Her humour and happiness, belie an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Voyager product. You will get an education at Voyager, but not a didactic drone-a-thon from a wine wonk....”

“…a personal ‘thank you very much’ for the fantastic Unearthed Day. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and expanded my Voyager and specifically my wine knowledge greatly. You’ve obviously put a great deal of effort into the program and your delivery and knowledge were flawless.”

“Claire Tonon might oversee a list of just 30-or-so cuvées from a single-estate winery, but her skill is finding creativity in the limitations. Restricted to Voyager Estate wines, Tonon works with chef Santiago Fernandez to shape the menu from the drinks up, each seasonal degustation harmonised with a tightly selected collection of current vintage and cellared wines. The wines are analysed, the dishes created to match flavour, season and sense of place. The reverse engineering speaks of derring-do and originality, while Tonon’s presence on the floor, easy charm and leadership qualities set an example many could learn from.”
