Spend a carefree day touring vineyards, sipping fine Barossa Valley varietals and enjoying the scenery of Australia’s famed wine country with a visit to 4 world-renowned vineyards. Taste exquisite vintages and savour a special lunch of local meats, produce and cheeses at Peter Lehmann Wines.

After you’re picked up from your hotel, take a relaxing drive out of town through the Adelaide Hills. Stop at the Whispering Wall, the retaining wall of the Barossa Reservoir – test its amazing acoustics by whispering at one end and listening to the echo on the other, 328 feet (100 m) away.

Head to your first winery, the beautiful and historic Chateau Yaldara. With scenic vineyards overlooking the North Para River, this splendid estate is among the most picturesque in the country. From there, travel through the Barossa Valley and across Jacob’s Creek to the heritage township of Tanunda. Walk off your wine with a stroll down Main Street and pop into one of the quaint storefronts to shop around.

Continue on to Peter Lehmann to taste fine wines and dine on the winery’s signature Weighbridge Platter – this assortment of appetisers is a typical meal shared by the estate’s growers and staff during harvest time. Step back in time at Langmeil Estate, a 160-year-old winery that bottles some of the world’s oldest Shiraz. Finally, journey through the Seppeltsfield region to Murray Street Vineyards for a wonderful end note in a setting that bridges the gap between the Old World and the New.

Be returned to Adelaide after an incredible day out.

Frequently Asked Adelaide Tour Questions:

Can we have a private guide with us from start to finish?

Yes, we can arrange for a dedicated private guide and vehicle to accompany you throughout the entire trip. This is a popular option for wine-focused tours, allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy tastings without worrying about driving or directions.

Is it possible to do this tour as a self-drive?

Yes – you can absolutely take this tour as a self-drive option. However, please note that wine touring and self-driving can be limiting, especially if you’d like to indulge in multiple tastings. We can arrange local transfers or winery shuttles for select days to help manage this safely.

Can we include other things besides wineries?

Of course. While this tour is designed to highlight South Australia’s best wine regions like Barossa, McLaren Vale, and Clare Valley, we can easily adjust the itinerary to include scenic drives, coastal visits, cultural stops, or even wildlife encounters. Just let us know what you’d like to add!

What if we want to see more of South Australia beyond the wine regions?

We’d recommend checking out our longer “Adelaide & South Australia Highlights” tour, which expands beyond the vineyards to include destinations like longer on Kangaroo Island, the Fleurieu Peninsula, and Flinders Ranges. It’s a perfect way to experience the diversity of the state.

What kind of wineries can we visit?

We can curate your winery visits based on your preferences (on a private tour) — from boutique, family-run estates to iconic names like Penfolds, d’Arenberg, or Henschke. Whether you're after a luxurious food and wine pairing, historic cellars, or something a little quirky, we’ve got you covered.

What’s the best time of year for this tour?

South Australia's wine regions are great year-round. Autumn (March–May) brings vineyard colours and harvest excitement, while spring (September–November) offers mild weather and blossoming vines. Winter is cozy with fire-side tastings, and summer brings festivals and long vineyard lunches.

Dear Yamila & The Road Trip Team Thank you for your making my Sydney-Gold Coast Road Trip a smooth one. I would say there wasn't any hiccup along the trip. Everything well taken care of; from airport transfer to hotel bookings to rental car and some tour bookings. My family really enjoyed the holiday. What I really love was the freedom to drive anywhere with recommendations to go. It was very comprehensive. My kids loved the hotels you booked for us, especially the Anchorage and Pepper Soul! You made our maiden road drive in Australia to a new level. It is definitely an memorable experience. We are already thinking of another road trip in Australia! Thank you once again!

21-day Australia trip was fabulous. We didn't want to drive the Australian roads, so The Road Trip organized all of the hotels, transportation and guided tours. The Road Trip team, especially Yamila, had everything planned and they even helped make changes as new opportunities came up. The trip itinerary appealed to everyone as there was the perfect combination of beach, sightseeing, tours, downtime, and outdoor activities. Our favorites included: penguin parade, full-day snorkel tour, night walk tour in the rainforest, and the canyon hike through the Blue Mountain National Park. All six of us agreed that we couldn't have seen or done as much as we did if it wasn't for The Road Trip team. We will be contacting you again for our next trip!

Essential Workers from USA,

I want to thank Road Trip Australia for planning and coordinating such a great itinerary. I wouldn’t have known where to start doing it on my own. They made it easy. The packet they provided was full of good information and allowed me to maximize the time that I had to tour. I definitely recommend them to plan your trip.

The Road Trip put together our recently completed self-driving tour of Australia. They were easy to work with and did an outstanding job of arranging our accommodations and travel in country (both driving and flying). We started in Melbourne with an excellent tour of the central city. We then heading over to the Yarra Valley for two nights. It’s an area known for its vineyards and wine making. Then it was off to the Great Ocean Road for two days of beautiful beaches and great stops recommended by The Road Trip. We spent two days in charming Port Fairy at a great boutique hotel. Then it was back to Melbourne to head to Sydney. Some weather issues prevented us from traveling as planned but we did spend a day and a half in Sydney with the highlight being a climb to the top of the Harbor Bridge. After Sydney we spent two days in the Blue Mountains. Our plans were limited by the recent fires which was disappointing. We spent one day in the Hunter Valley and if you are into wine another day would be appropriate. Then back to Sydney to fly up to the Great Barrier Reef. The rainforests and reef were magical. Wavelength did a great job with the reef snorkeling tour. It was then back to Melbourne for the Australian Open which was a blast. Then finally a trip to Phillip Island to watch the penguins come back to their burrows after a busy day in the sea. Overall a memorable trip and it was logistically very easy with The Road Trip.
