Hahndorf & Adelaide Hills Hop On Hop Off Tour - In Region Pick Up 10.55am
Duration:
Operated By:
Hahndorf and its surrounds feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of Adelaide city. Make your way along this unique trail featuring the very best of the region and be captivated by the rich natural beauty, history, and some of the best food and wine in the country.
Join our hop-on, hop-off winery tour departing The Hahndorf Academy at 10.55am. Hop on or off at any of the premium wineries on the circuit, taste some of the best wine in Australia, enjoy the scenery and even a regional lunch.
Scenery
The character of the hills depends on
the time of year you visit – be it the mists of winter, the red and
gold leaves of autumn, or the clear bright sunshine of the
warmer months, it is always beautiful. This trail is all about winding country
roads, panoramic vistas of vines and orchards, and more historic sites
than you can waggle a wine glass at.
Wine
The cooler climates make for some
outstanding wines. From Shaw & Smith’s ‘Australia’s Best Shiraz’ award at
the London International Wine Challenge, to the iconic and eminently
drinkable Sparkling Rosé from Bird in Hand, on this day you’ll have the
opportunity to taste a wide range of Australia’s best and most
memorable wines.
Food
From Hahndorf’s plentiful array of
authentic German cuisine, pubs, and cafes, to the fine dining offered at The
Lane vineyard, or the cheesemongers and chocolate factory at
Woodside, our trail makes the most of the region’s delectable offerings.
Alternatively bring a picnic and recline on the lawn at Shaw & Smith
overlooking lush views of lakes, hills and vines.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Our ‘Golden Rules’ for a Great Hop On, Hop Off Tour
Hi there! In anticipation of your upcoming tour we need to emphasize our ‘Golden Rules’ to help you get the most out of your day. Please read these carefully and if you’re organising on behalf of a group, please share or convey to the others. Golden Rule #1 – Our Duty of Care and Passenger Code of Conduct Obviously our tours involve alcohol, and sometimes a very small minority of passengers may have the wrong idea about what is appropriate behaviour on our winery tours! So here are the facts: • This is not a ‘booze cruise’ and our bus is not licensed this is a leisurely day out among beautiful wine regions and we urge you to act respectfully in this regard• All passengers must read and sign our duty of care agreement prior to embarkation of their tour. You can view the agreement here.
• You need to include food and water in your planning Golden Rule #2 – Bookings are now required at most venues for all group sizes Over the last couple of years some wineries have changed how they operate, which now means most of them have seated tastings which has made capacity smaller than before. For some wineries bookings are now Essential for TrailHopper guests. You’ll find which wineries require bookings in the ‘Tasting Fees’ and ‘Food Options’ sections. (Pages 3 and 4) of the information pack.
Golden Rule #3 – How to Read Your Timetable Our timetables work beautifully, but they can be a bit tricky. Here’s what you need to know: • Our system allows for a maximum potential for 4 x 1 hour stops, of your choice. If you have a long lunch at a winery (ie you take 2 hours), then you’ll have 3 stops in total.
• To maximise your number of stops, you should visit venues in the same order as the timetable (ie go top-down, not bottom-up).
• The last column of times are the final pick up times for those venues.
That’s it! We truly hope this information helps make your day a memorable one, and we can’t wait to have you aboard. Many Thanks,
