Why choose an adelaide hills WINE TOUR?
Just 25 minutes from Adelaide’s city centre, this cool climate wine region produces much of the state’s best white wines. From Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris, to Chardonnay and Gruner Veltliner, there’s no greater range of white wines than in the Hills. You’ll also find reds like Pinot Noir and Shiraz (or Syrah), a bunch of boutique gin distilleries, and plenty of sparkling wines too!
Team that up with German heritage in kitsch Hills villages, spectacular scenery, and an array of amazing local food producers (think cheeses, chocolates, jams, and candies), the Adelaide Hills is the state’s most popular day trip destination.

Yes — tours are designed for all levels of wine knowledge, with a maximum of six guests so you’re never rushed or lost in a crowd. Our knowledgeable guides will help you better understand wine, no matter your level of expertise, so you come away from the day knowing more about what you like and why.

Groups are capped at a maximum of six people and depart with as few as two. This means we can visit boutique wineries the larger coach tours skip entirely.
