You'll visit no more than six guests with a local guide who knows which wineries are worth your time, moving through the region's best producers at a pace that suits. Lunch lands at a proper restaurant with local plates and wine pairings included. Seven to eight hours, hotel transfers both ways.

What to expect
You'll start at your Adelaide hotel and head into McLaren Vale with your guide, who'll have sized up the group and conditions before choosing which wineries to hit. Expect three to four quality stops with proper tastings—not rushed pours. Mid-tour, you'll sit down to a restaurant lunch with fresh local ingredients and your choice of wine or beer. The route changes every day based on what's working and what the guide reckons you'll enjoy. You're moving between spots in a comfortable car, not a minibus.
Good to know
