We went further to two wineries and a chocolate factory before stopping for an outstanding lunch at Hahndorf. After a bit of store-hopping in Hahndorf we made a quick stop at a jam factory, and then returned to Adelaide 8 hours later. The whole experience was very well planned and made all the more amazing by our guide Innez, who was very knowledgeable and kind. Her Mercedes van was very comfortable and even had a fridge in the back for our cheese, wine and chocolates. I would recommend this itinerary for all visitors to Adelaide! read less

Lunch was delightful, wineries wonderful and to top it off we visited Maggie Beers Shop & Restaurant, a cheese shop and a chocolate factory. Couldn't have been any better. Thanks Danny for a great time. read less

Our tour guide Danny was a wealth of information and good Aussie humour. The day went like clockwork, but was flexible enough to tailor our itinerary after a splendid lunch. I was particularly impressed with the VIP treatment we received at each winery, with absolutely no pressure to buy wines. We would not hesitate to do another tour with this company. read less

What I loved about this tour was mixing up the day with a combination of sight seeing at Mt Lofty, winery visit, cheese sampling at Udder delights, winery visit, a visit to Melba’s and chocolate samples before a filling lunch at the German Pub in Hahndorf and then an hour of free time sight seeing before a final winery visit. Well worth it and highly recommended. read less

Lunch was lovely (try the kangaroo) and the addition of the fridge in the back of the bus meant our chilled wines, chocolates and cheese stayed cool.

Hubby and I had a weekend away and booked this for something different. We always do the Barossa and have never gone to Mclaren Vale. Our tour guide Dan C was really great. We got picked up from Glenelg right on time at 9:20 and were joined by 5 other guest. Our group was a great mix of people 4 from QLD (2 seperate couples) and a bloke travelling Australia! Dan was great with all his facts and knowledge on the area and the wineries we visited we can honestly say we didn’t taste a bad wine. Our lunch was STUNNING. We visited 4 wineries and also stopped and the Fruit Chocs factory. Mclaren Vale is a real treasure and highly recommend this tour! read less

Great day out A professional tour with knowledgable local guide and impressive wineries. The lunch was very good and timed so that there was no waiting.

We started our tour at Chateau Tanunda after a lovely drive through the vineyards of the Barossa Valley, it was a great winery to start at with so much history. Innez was a fantastic tour guide and a wealth of local knowledge. It was an enjoyable experience wandering around looking at the multimedia presentations and some of the old implements used in days gone by.
Second stop at Langmeil Winery was also an excellent choice as it is also steeped in the history of the Barossa.
Lunch at Wanera Wine Bar was an enjoyable affair and will be visiting again next time we venture to the Barossa.
Innez was very accommodating with the pace of the tour and as we left the choice of wineries to visit to her we were very happy with the selections made.
We will be contacting Adelaide's Top Food and wine Tours once our interstate and overseas friends can visit to arrange another private tour of one of the wine regions.
Cant recommend these services enough. read less

Danny picked us up from our hotel on time at 9am and we discovered that we were the only ones booked in for the day, so our small group tour essentially became a private tour!
Mount Lofty lookout was our first stop and the views were fantastic. Even better was seeing a young wild koala sleeping in a tree nearby!
After descending from Mount Lofty we drove slowly through nearby townships including Hahndorf, while Danny explained the history of the area. Then we headed for the picturesque hills and the vineyard cellar doors!
Nepenthe Vineyard was our first stop, where Mark from Nepenthe guided us through a comprehensive tasting. Generous discounts and shipping were on offer.
A stop for chocolate straight from the Melba’s factory was next on the agenda. Hot beverages were also available.
A short drive through the Hills brought us to our next winery, Bird in Hand. There were heaps of photo opportunities at this beautiful winery. They were a bit busier here and the tasting was largely unguided.
Lunch at the German Arms Hotel in Hahndorf was excellent. We had pre-ordered from a set menu with a good variety of choices and our meal was served promptly. My fish was light and crispy and my husband’s schnitzel hit the spot! A drink was included and we can attest that the cider and beer were terrific. Apple strudel was the only dessert on offer and it was delicious!
After lunch a walk was in order and we had plenty of time to wander through the historic town of Hahndorf. It is full of quirky boutique shops, cafes, old buildings and artsy handmade goods and antiques. If you like it, buy it - you won’t see the same thing cheaper up the road!
A quick stop to taste some cheese at Udder Delights ended our time in Hahndorf.
A short drive up the road brought us to the Beerenberg Family Farm Shop and factory. As a long term strawberry jam addict, my husband exited the shop with lots of goods!
We opted to take the scenic drive back to Adelaide through some historic townships.
The variety of the itinerary on this tour suited us, as everything was fairly close to Adelaide and didn’t involve long periods of driving. We got to taste some excellent wine as well as enjoying other aspects of the area. Our purchases were kept fresh in the cooler in the back of the van and the seating in the small van was very comfortable.
Many thanks to Danny for making our day out in the Adelaide Hills one to remember.
We highly recommend this tour and suggest you book directly with the company, as it was cheaper than booking through a third party like Viator. read less

My Wife and I booked the tour from interstate with little knowledge of Adelaide and the surrounding regions. Turns out our pick was all that we could have asked for and more. Great little family tour company that was easy to book and contact (we were staying in a brand new hotel which wasn't on their list of pick up locations, but no hassle in arranging pick up at the new location). Also we booked as a couple on a "small group" tour however we were the only two so it turned into a very personalized and private tour with no pressure implied being only the two of us.

Danny was our tour guide and was happy to share any and all his knowledge about Adelaide & and the coastal towns on the scenic drive to McLaren Vale, including dinner recommendations.

Within McLaren Vale we tasted at 4 wineries (Shingleback, Hugh Hamilton, Leconfield/Richard Hamilton & Penny's Hill) and a HUGE!! grazing plater lunch at Leconfield with many featured local produces. During the driving we also drove past the d'Arenberg Cube which Danny was able to provide history and many personal stories of the company and family. This was matched with knowledge and commentary throughout the rest of the tour which was light and unobtrusive. It was also very easy to see that he is well liked and has a great relationship with all the wineries that we visited. During the day we were not pressured and Danny was open to changes in itinerary if there was something that took us by fancy.

Overall McLaren Vale is a great area close to the city with great wine and a day with Danny and his company has been a great experience that we will never forget. read less

We had a fantastic time and decided to redo the tour again to celebrate my husband’s birthday with family and friends. It was a perfect way to spend a day out.
The tour included: prompt pick up and drop off at our hotel, clean, air conditioned bus (provided us with a comfortable drive) with cold water supplied, wine tasting and lunch. Danny our tour guide was very informative of the region, humorous and provided excellent quality service.
The wineries we visited: Fox Creek, Wirra Wirra, Serafino and boutique brewery (on request). Lunch was at Serafino and the meal was delicious! Menu was outside our comfort zone but food was amazing! Staff at each winey were all knowledgeable and helpful.
Highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed! read less

The highlight was the tasting at Chateau Tanunda, a beautifully presented winery with an excellent wine guide who took our small group through the details of some first class wines.
The tours specialise in small groups, and Danny, our driver was personable, entertaining, and most of all knowledgeable. This tour through the iconic Barossa Valley is a must for any visitor to Adelaide. read less
