About this tour
Spend eight hours tasting your way through the Barossa Valley with stops at two wineries and two gin distilleries. A local guide drives you through rolling vineyard country, past quiet villages and cellar doors that define South Australia's premier wine region. You'll sample award-winning drops and artisanal spirits, then finish the day with gourmet local produce. Groups run up to 30 people, so expect a shared minibus or coach experience rather than an intimate jaunt.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your accommodation and heads into the Barossa. The drive itself is part of the draw—quiet roads wind past vineyards and stone villages. You'll stop at two established wineries for tastings, learning how the region's soil and climate shape its signature styles. Two distillery visits follow, where you'll nose and sip gins made locally. Between stops, there's time to chat with other travellers and your guide. The pace is measured rather than rushed, though with groups up to 30 people, queuing and waiting are part of it. Lunch and snacks aren't included, though local produce is on sale at most stops.
