BOUTIQUE wineries
We take you to top quality wineries the larger tours can’t visit. This way you’ll avoid the mass-market, mass-produced wines, and try the very best the region has to offer.
DELICIOUS DINING
All tour lunches are at one of the most popular restaurants in the region. Forgo the cheap diners, with Small Batch you’ll get an amazing selection of modern Australian cuisine.
AVOID THE CROWDS
Perfect for the US traveller short on time you’re guaranteed an intimate and personalized experience. No crowds, no waiting, no lining up – straight to the point.
Barossa Valley
wine tours
Known for bold red wines like Shiraz and Cabernet, this historical wine region is world famous for a reason. The perfect region if you enjoy Napa Cabernet or Walla Walla Reds.
McLaren Vale
wine tours
Coastal, scenic, and many an Adelaidian’s favourite, McLaren Vale is full of easy drinking Mediterranean red and white wines. A little like San Luis Obispo or Paso Robles.
Adelaide Hills
wine tours
With cooler days and chilly nights, the Adelaide Hills is home to crisp Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Sparkling, and Pinot Noir wines – much like the Willamette Valley.
which regions do you visit?
Operating out of Adelaide, South Australia, we run tours to the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Adelaide Hills wine regions. All three regions are very easily accessible from downtown Adelaide: the Barossa – 60 minutes drive North; McLaren Vale – 45 minutes drive South; Adelaide Hills – 30 minutes drive East.
where do you pick up from?
We pick up from downtown Adelaide hotels, along with select locations throughout the Barossa and Adelaide Hills regions.
how large are your shared-group sizes?
Maxing out at just 6 guests, ours are the smallest shared-group tour around. This means less clashes, more focus, and a very intimately tailored experience.
what wineries do you go to?
Private Tours – Some of our private tours have a set itinerary and the wineries will be listed. For our “Wine Experience” tours, we will have you complete a quick pre-departure survey from which we will tailor three winery stops to suit your preferences. Matthew, our owner, has spent weeks travelling all the way through US wine country (from Sta Barbara, CA all the way up to Walla Walla, WA) to better understand US wine regions and what you like – talk to us in your language and we’ll understand. We choose from over 80 winery partners across the regions to create the perfect itinery for you.
Shared Tours – We have over 80 winery partners across the regions, which we are always keeping tabs on. This means we can and do change our itinerary daily to suit the weather and our guest’s level of wine knowledge. You can find a list of some of our partners on each regional page.
what type of tours do you provide?
As wine tour specialists we provide shared-group tours, personalized private tours, specialized Barossa Shiraz focussed tours, elite level tours for collectors and connoisseurs, and we are also associate members of the Ultimate Winery Experiences of Australia, with tours designed around their winery partner experiences. No other tour company has a catalogue of Barossa wine tours for all types of customers quite like we do.
