About this tour

Your guide navigates the rolling hills of the Fleurieu Peninsula, stopping at three to four cellar doors for tastings. The region's reputation for quality production and local food means you'll sample wines alongside regional produce at a lunch venue of your choice. Travel in shared transport with other guests, with hotel pickup and drop-off included.

What to expect

You'll be collected from your Adelaide hotel in the morning and head south through the Adelaide Hills toward McLaren Vale. The drive itself offers views of the region's topography before arriving at your first winery. Expect leisurely tastings at each cellar door, with your guide explaining production methods and regional characteristics. Mid-tour, you'll stop for lunch at a local restaurant; your driver suggests options and handles the logistics. The pace is relaxed—this is about savouring rather than rushing. You'll return to your hotel by late afternoon. Wine purchases are available at each stop; tastings themselves may incur small fees depending on the cellar door.
