Innez is both really knowledgeable of the area and really flexible in fitting in with requests. I had wanted to go to Wirra Wirra for ages and so she made it our first stop having swung by the beach at Glen Elg to give us a fab view. Lunch was amazing - the quality of the food top notch (I am going to try to make that cumin oil) and the mix of wineries we visited really great cause it gave you a chance to experience the small boutique wineries, those that that been here from inception and more modern ones. Needless to say there are some lovely boxes of wine travelling care of Australia Post to reinforce the great memories. On the way Innez provided back tips of what to do in Adelaide and landmarks. I would really recommend it read less

We were fortunate enough to be the only participants of the tour (choosing a quiet day in the week) and were thrilled that the company continued with the tour when many would have cancelled. Danny was very knowledgeable about the area and made the journey to the Barossa fly by with his tales of first settlers and the history of Adelaide and surrounds.
Once in the Barossa we enjoyed guided tastings at Chateau Tanunda and Langmeil wines. Our fantastic lunch (included in the booking) was served at Wanera with some more lovely wine!
After lunch we visited our third and final winery (our choice to stop at 3!) Thorn-Clarke wines. Another excellent guided tasting.
To finish off the day we visited Maggie Beer’s farm shop for a photo opportunity and much needed coffee.
A really amazing day! read less

We hadn't been to Adelaide or through the Adelaide Hills before, and this was the perfect, jam-packed day.
From the moment we got in the van, Danny was sharing interesting facts and stories about locations, attractions and the history of towns. We took a very scenic route and drove through plenty of surrounding villages.. truly breathtaking.
Our tour group size was just perfect with 8 people in total. It made it easy to get around, and easy to chat as a group throughout the day.

The attractions and locations we visited were perfect, with just the right amount of time at each. Danny was flexible and made sure we were enjoying our day. We visited wineries, Mt Lofty lookout, the chocolate factory, cheese factory, multiple villages, and spent a few hours shopping in Hahndorf, walking off our huge, authentic 2-course lunch from the German pub.

We saw a huge variety of locations and attractions and learnt the backstories to all of them. The day trip exceeded our expectations and I will be spruiking this to everyone I know.

There are plenty of tour options out there, but this is the best if you are looking for the perfect tour group size, a day full of attractions, and a very informed and enjoyable tour guide. read less

This tour was really enjoyable - Danny was a very knowledgeable guide and also good photographer. He showed us places we would never have considered going as well as showing places of interest that we passed. I personally felt that the tour was tailored to our tastes really well.

Thanks for a great day Danny!

We would definitely do it again read less

He was very knowledgeable and fun to be with during the whole day. Flexible also to accommodate small changes in schedule. We did not know much about the Barossa Valley or its history. We visited Chateau Tanunda and the Langmeil winery. It wasn't a frenetic tour where we needed to pack so much in that we were exhausted by the end of the day. We would recommend this tour to anyone who would like an introduction to the Barossa Valley. Loved the whole day! 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

When researching the "best options", these guys seemed to be right in the mix. Great variety of tours, reasonable prices....what's not to like?

Making the booking was easy, and contacted them the day before the tour just to check what wineries we were stopping at- and they happily shared that information.

The bus and driver (Danny) showed up right on time. Danny was very informal but knowledgeable about the area we were going to, and their vehicle fleet very comfortable. We were initially quite surprised the tour ran as there was only 4 of us on the tour- however they said they'd rather have their tours operating regardless- which is great commitment, but also made for a great tour experience.

The choice of wineries was very nice - they were the smaller ones which again also made for a great experience. We had two younger Chinese ladies on the tour who were not as experienced in wine tours or consumption, so it was fun to help suggest to them ones to try. Unfortunately a lack of moderation kicked in around lunchtime and they were too ill to continue. While this may have put the rest of our day at risk, Danny and his team were great at not only insuring that our tour continued, but our ill colleagues were also taken care of and returned safely to Adelaide.

We truly had a personalised experience for the afternoon, and Danny was quite happy to take us to wherever we wanted (within reason of course) and then brought us back to Adelaide to be dropped off wherever we needed to get to.

I would highly recommend Adelaide's Top Food and Wine Tours for any excursion- I know our next visit to Adelaide and should it include a tour to Barossa or other, I'll definitely be giving these guys a ring. read less

We were treated like royalty with a fun loving, friendly, smiling and very knowledgeable tour guide. A beautiful Adelaide day made the panoramic view at Mt Lofty stunning followed by wine tasting amongst the Kangaroos at Nepenthe Wines. We had limited knowledge of wine making and the different grape varieties but left the cellar door beaming with information and of course leaving with a Gruner Veltliner and Pinot Noir Rose. Next stop, Melba's Chocolate & Confectionery factory and next door, G&C cheese where we tasted buffalo cheese and gin infused cheese (both very tasty). Lunch at the German Arms Hotel was most memorable due to the surroundings, friendly staff, German beer and the huge meals followed by their dream apple strudel dessert. Innez gave us an exceptional overview of the history of Hahndorf and the life of the local Germans during the second world war. We were given plenty of time to explore Hahndorf and enjoy the autumn coloured street lined trees, historic buildings, crafts and museum. Some more wine and cider tasting at Sidewood Winery before a walk around the Bridgewater Mill witnessing the largest waterwheel in Australia. After wine, cheese and chocolate tasting along with a huge lunch, Innez had a couple of weary guests with a mini fridge in the boot full of 'goodies' to drive back to Adelaide. A huge thanks to Adelaide's Top Food & Wine Tours for a wonderful unforgettable day out. It was obvious to us that this family owned business values their clientele and we found them to be very professional while at the same time providing a value for money tour. Put this on your 'bucket list' Brilliant. read less
