Spend a day in South Australia’s most iconic wine region with Groovy Grape’s Barossa Day Out – a full-day adventure that mixes great wine, good food, and local character with a bit of groovy flair.
We start the day heading through the scenic Adelaide Hills to Gumeracha, home of the Big Rocking Horse. Whether you climb to the top for the views or wander down to say hello to the kangaroos and wallabies, it’s a fun and quirky stop to kick things off.
Next up is the Whispering Wall – a unique engineering marvel where your voice travels across the curved dam wall. Give it a go and see just how far a whisper can carry.
From there, we roll into the Barossa Valley, one of the world’s great wine regions. Our first winery visit is Kies Family Wines, a small, family-run cellar door with six generations of winemaking history. Here, you’ll enjoy a structured tasting of their handcrafted wines — from fresh, fruit-driven whites to bold Shiraz and their much-loved Monkey Nut Rosé. The warm, personal feel of Kies sets the tone for a truly local experience.
Next, we visit Lambert Estate, where you’ll enjoy a guided tasting in a beautiful hilltop setting.
Lunch is all about wood-fired gourmet pizzas, served in a laid-back, social setting.
After lunch, we swing by Melba’s Chocolate Factory for a sweet stop – think handmade chocolates, nostalgic lollies, and maybe a cheeky treat for later.
Next, we visit Rhen Bier Brewhouse, a local favourite for small-batch beers and great Barossa vibes. Try a tasting paddle or settle in with a cold one – it’s the perfect way to break up the afternoon.
Before we head back to Adelaide, we stop in the heart of Tanunda, where you’ll have time to explore. Browse the shops, grab a coffee or an ice cream, or simply soak up the charm of this historic Barossa town.
As the day winds down, relax on the drive home with new friends, great memories, and maybe a few bottles of wine in tow. It’s a day in the Barossa – the Groovy Grape way.

Negative points were primarily due to misleading advertising eg three tastings, not four as marketing material (at the time) suggested.
Price "included" entry to the Whispering Wall and Mengle Hill - which actually don't have an entry fee.
Our final visit was to Rosenvale which unfortunately, on the day, was thoroughly underwhelming.
Aaron was a great experienced tour guide.
I’d strongly recommend getting booked onto this trip, you won’t regret it.
The last stop of visiting the Beautiful Avenue of Palms will forever hold a piece of our heart, where my Partner got down on one knee!
Thanks for being apart of this special day.
Lovedthe first 2 wineries.
Sorry to say I don't rate the third.
Each of the wineries visited provided generous samples, and the included lunch was delicious.
The only downside was that the third winery only offered one white wine, which was disappointing for me, as my preference is white wine.
We had 1st class experience, thank you for a wonderful day in the Barossa Valley
The wineries and food experiences were perfectly selected, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Peter went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time, which truly made the tour special.
Highly recommend Taste of Barossa Tour!!!
It ended up being the most chilled tour I’ve done in a long time. Jordan was fantastic. All wineries we visited are great! Super knowledgeable staff without being boring, genuinely engaging, and knew how to keep things light and fun while still being informative and educational. You learn a lot without feeling like you’re in a lecture.
If you want a seamless, easy, and genuinely enjoyable Barossa experience, this is it. Highly recommended.
10/10 recommend.
Thankyou Vin for being the best driver on our taste of the Barossa xx
Presenters at wineries were knowledgeable made it interesting and were likeable with no hard sell.
Size of group was good. And because smaller group easier to interact with others.
A great thing Russell did was to ask people where they were from as they got on the bus. A fantastic icebreaker.
Lovely country to drive through. Was a lovely tour. Highly recommended
Be bloody good part of the experience if a viticulturist could be part of the tasting to answer a couple of viticulturist questions .. found out wine isn’t wine without a fair bit of ground work.
Great tour .
The trip, tour guide, and wineries:
We had Baden as our tour guide and driver. His knowledge of the wine and its wineries are immensely amazing. He took us to boutique and family run wineries and told stories of when and how the wineries started, gave us a bit of knowledge on their histories and their products which are different from mainstream wineries. And those made them unique.
The lunch:
We had lunch in one of the wineries. It was great. We had cheese platters which were locally produced.
Overall:
It was an excellent day trip. We enjoyed it very much. I am not much of a wine drinker but I still enjoyed it very much. My son who is not allowed to taste the wine legally still enjoyed the trip and the scenery. My husband might have different story as he enjoyed the wine tasting. :-)
Baden, our guide and driver, was very informative not just about the tour but also South Australia.
Well worth the trip.
The lunch was also based at this location and I think it is a stretch to call some cheese, ham, pate and bread as “gourmet”, slightly over sells it!
The last vineyard, Kies, was much, much better. The big observation is that at Rosenvale it was the owner who completed the presentation and his passion was infectious and that probably only comes from having such a vested interest in the business.
However, overall the day was great and Brian was so knowledgeable whilst keeping us all amused.
We visited three wineries and had a lovely lunch. I was particularly impressed with the Rosenvale and Kies family wineries and plan to buy cases from both, despite the massive shipping costs from AUS to USA.
Kies family wines is fantastic !
Lunch and wines at the turkey winery were good.
Rosenvale wines was a waste of time and very boring (spoken at for 30mins straight!)
Great day, just wished they’d picked their wineries a little better for a group, will be back to the Barossa but will handpick wineries next time.
