Barossa Valley wine tour from Adelaide, with your own chauffeur
The Barossa is an hour north of Adelaide and the reason South Australia is on the world wine map. Shiraz is king here, grown on some of the oldest vines on earth — a few blocks were planted in the 1840s and have never been grafted. It is big country: cellar doors sit 10 to 20 minutes apart, so a chauffeur saves far more than the parking.
Cellar doors you can choose from
Pick any three to five on the planner and we build the day around them. Tasting fees are paid at the cellar door and are usually refunded if you buy a bottle.
