Coonawarra Half Day Wine Tour With Lunch

About this tour

Tour four and a half hours through South Australia's Coonawarra wine region, stopping at cellar doors along the famous Terra Rossa strip. You'll taste wines shaped by the region's distinctive red soil and limestone geology, meet winemakers at select vineyards, and sit down to a produce lunch at Patrick of Coonawarra. The air-conditioned vehicle handles the driving, leaving you free to focus on the wines and views rolling past.

What to expect

You'll spend the morning and early afternoon moving between established wineries, tasting as you go. Expect to be on your feet for tasting sessions—usually standing at a bar or in a cellar—with breaks between venues as you travel. The lunch stop provides a proper sit-down break with local produce. Winemakers occasionally join tastings to discuss their approach; this isn't guaranteed but adds depth when it happens. The Terra Rossa landscape is relatively flat and open, with long sight lines across vines. Tasting fees are covered, so you're only paying for anything you choose to buy.
