Bus times on the 'loop" were bang on so you can plan where you want to be and for how long.
Rather than trying to rush we did 2 tastings well and a long lunch.
Thanks to the team for a great day!
Exceptional guides with such wonderful customer service.
Highly recommended. Always outstanding!!
All I can say is that this tour is worth every single moment! From start to finish, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Our tour guide, Dean (o)..😉, was amazing — incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. He shared so much interesting information while making the entire experience fun, relaxed, and enjoyable.
We laughed, learned so much, and created wonderful memories along the way. Deane really went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time, and his enthusiasm made the tour even more special.
If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate — it’s worth every moment! Highly recommended, and a huge thank you to Deane for making it such a memorable experience. 👏❤️
We had a great day at the wineries and the pick up and drop off was seamless.
The driver / guide Nathan was great and had loads of info about the area and the vineyards.
The wines were fantastic, the views were amazing and the weather was great. What more could you ask for!
Would highly recommend both Dean and Trail hoppers to anyone wishing for a great day out in the beautiful wine regions around Adelaide.
Both tours were excellent- Dean and Yvette were great - the information and communication was perfect. We were picked up in the city and transported in comfort to the wine areas.
This is a great way to get round 3 or 4 wineries - very relaxed and well organised.
We had a fantastic time on each tour and would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking to do a wine tour when in Adelaide.

We would highly recommend taking this tour!
Laurie was good. Not over the top, knew his stuff and doesn’t tolerate fools! Well done.
The Barossa was a place we were looking forward to visiting, and I tell you what having a tour guide like Nathan really makes the trip! I will be recommending the tour to anyone who asks!
Thanks again Nathan 👌
The only problem was limited communication in the lead up, which could be a result of booking with TripAdvisor rather than direct (unsure).
I didn’t appreciate we had to pre book winery tasting and was alerted 50 minutes before the start of the trip by the driver. Would have been nice to have some communication in the lead up.
Otherwise a good day had, squeezed into a couple of great wineries.
We loved that we had some flexibility in where and how long we could stop at wineries. Loved Calabria and Lambert wineries. Food at Lambert was delicious and the wines and staff at both were fantastic. Highly recommend this reasonably priced tour. Thanks team!
I can't recommend this tour and company strongly enough.
Are tour guide for the day, Nathan, was extremely knowledgeable and very flexible with timing. We had a small crew, which made it even that much better. The pickup location was easy to get to, and the minivan pulled up right out front for us to jump into. Can't miss it.
I highly recommend this tour.
Each wine varies depending on the soil, climate, family history, and the passion the family puts into it. You can really see how much time and effort they invest into every bottle they produce each year. Some bottles are even named after their kids and life experiences, which makes every wine feel more personal and meaningful.
At first, I honestly had no idea what I signed up for. I even had to ask the driver what I should do. She encouraged me to just take my time, explore, and try new things even the ones I never imagined myself doing.
At my first winery, I met a lovely couple from Tassie who were so accommodating, and the rest is history full of new memories. They shared not only the wine experience but also life stories, which felt oddly timely for my current situation.
It was such a nice experience meeting new people and trying things I didn’t think I could do. Learning about wine, tasting how rustic and crisp each bottle can be even though at first it felt overwhelming because I didn’t even know a single wine variety lol.
But it turned out to be such a cool experience to try. By the last stop though… I couldn’t even tell the difference in taste anymore
Still, it was a beautiful experience especially for someone like me just solo vibing and stepping into something completely new.
Shout out to D'arenburg, Beach Road and Chapel Hill
From start to finish it was so easy and stress-free. The flexibility to hop on and off at different wineries meant we could take our time, enjoy tastings, have lunch, and really soak up everything the Barossa has to offer without worrying about tasting fees, lunch or planning logistics, just a relaxed day of amazing wines, beautiful scenery, and good vibes. Dean was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept everything running smoothly.
If you’re looking for a fun, well-organised way to explore the Barossa Valley, I highly recommend TrailHopper. We’ll definitely be back! 🍇🥂
I find it is one of the easiest ways to see one of Adelaide's major wine regions without being locked into a large group of strangers and without spending and arm & leg.
I have done about six tours now and each one has been fantastic. The drivers are always so jovial and knowledgeable, the buses clean & comfortable and locations beautiful. I strongly recommend for any small group wanting to try some of Adelaide's best wineries, but without requiring a deso.
