About this tour
This eight-hour tour strings together Adelaide's essential stops without feeling rushed. You'll start in the city, climb to Mount Lofty's panoramic views, spend a couple of hours wandering Hahndorf's German-heritage streets and local shops, then head south to McLaren Vale for tastings at two established wineries. A coastal drive wraps things up with a stop in Glenelg—you can either catch the tram back to the city or rejoin the group for the return journey.
Highlights
- Mount Lofty Lookout with 360-degree Adelaide views
- Hahndorf township: two hours to explore independently
- Chapel Hill and Haselgrove winery tastings
- Scenic coastline drive to Glenelg beachside suburb
- Optional sunset at Glenelg or tram ride back
- Small group capped at 18 people
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Adelaide hotel and driven to Mount Lofty first—the lookout takes 20 minutes or so, then it's an hour south to Hahndorf. This old German settlement is yours to explore; grab lunch, nose around the galleries and delis, or just soak up the village pace. Midday you head to McLaren Vale for wine tastings at two wineries with distinct characters. Each stop includes time to taste and chat with staff. The final stretch follows the coast towards Glenelg, where you get a proper break—15 minutes minimum to walk the beach or grab a coffee. From there, catch the tram back (authentic local move) or ride with the group back to Adelaide.
Good to know
Food and drinks aren't included, so budget for lunch in Hahndorf and any wine purchases. The tour suits all fitness levels—mostly driving with short walks. If you choose Glenelg's sunset option, check tram times back to the city (runs frequently). Infants must sit on an adult's lap.
