What to Expect on Your Adelaide Hills Private Tour
This day is a true journey through the best of the Adelaide Hills. We start the day at the spiritual home of Penfolds at Magill Estate. Here, you will be taken through an extensive tasting of their most iconic wines, including a pour of the world-famous Penfolds Grange. It’s a definitive Australian wine experience.
Following this, we take a short, scenic drive through the beautiful Piccadilly Valley to Tapanappa Winery, founded by winemaking pioneer Brian Croser, where you will be expertly hosted through their range of premium, cool-climate wines.
A Gourmet Adelaide Hills Lunch
After a morning of premium tastings, we will stop for a scrumptious 2-course lunch at a top-tier winery restaurant, such as Mount Lofty Ranges Vineyard or Clover and Stone restaurant at Howard Vineyards. With an emphasis on the finest seasonal produce sourced from local farms, this is the perfect gourmet interlude.
Our Adelaide Hills Private Tour continues in the afternoon at the iconic Shaw + Smith winery, overlooking their stunning Balhannah vineyard. You will enjoy their ‘Classic Wine’ tasting flight, a benchmark for the region’s winemaking style.
Scenery & Sightseeing
To round off this perfect day, our journey home includes two must-see stops.
We will drive through the main street of Hahndorf, Australia’s oldest German village, with its charming artisan shops and historic streetscape.
Finally, we visit the Mount Lofty lookout to savour the breathtaking panoramic views across the Adelaide plains to the coast.
