What to expect
You'll be collected from your meeting point and driven through McLaren Vale in a comfortable sedan. John curates recommendations but defers to your interests—whether that's deep cellar-door tastings, vineyard strolls, or browsing the local towns. Stops are yours to negotiate; linger where it appeals or move on quickly. Most wineries charge a tasting fee (not included), and lunch is separate unless you've arranged otherwise. The five-hour window is a starting point; you can add time for a small surcharge if a site captures you.
Good to know
Book snacks in advance if you want them; meals aren't provided. Tasting fees at cellar doors are your own cost. Minimum age is 18 for alcohol. The quoted price covers the whole car regardless of passenger count (up to four), so travelling as a pair or group shifts the per-head cost favourably. Service animals welcome.
