About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring South Australia's Barossa Valley wine region in a small group of up to ten people. You'll visit three boutique wineries with knowledgeable guides, enjoy a seated lunch with a main course, and finish at Maggie Beer's Farmshop. The day balances genuine winery education—cellar door conversations, potential barrel tastings, occasional winemaker encounters—with relaxed company and scenic drives through historic vineyard country. Tasting fees are separate and paid on the day.

What to expect
Your guide will pick you up and spend the day moving between three working wineries. At each stop, you'll meet the cellar door staff who explain the wines, vineyard history, and methods—some tours include behind-the-scenes access or barrel samples depending on what's on that day. Midway through, you'll sit down to a proper lunch with an appetiser and your choice of mains (bring cash or card for wine). The final leg takes you to Maggie Beer's Farmshop for browsing, followed by a scenic loop through either Seppeltsfield's historic estates or the Adelaide Hills foothills, where the guide will point out native birds and wildlife. Throughout, the chat stays friendly and conversational rather than stuffy.
