About this tour

Includes return transfers from Adelaide and suburbs, lunch with regional platters, and tastings led by winemakers when available.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from Adelaide or nearby suburbs and driven to McLaren Vale in a comfortable vehicle. Once there, the day unfolds around your tastes—the guides decide which wineries to visit after chatting with you about what appeals. Expect to spend as long as you like at each stop; there's no rushing through tastings or cellar-door visits. Around lunchtime you'll settle in for regional platters at one of the wineries. The group stays small, and the whole operation has the feel of locals showing you their favourite spots rather than a set tourist circuit.
