Once in McLaren Vale our first stop is the stunning Haselgrove Wines. Let your host at Haselgrove take you through a wonderful structured tasting.and if you’re peckish, you can purchase a cheeseboard to enjoy with your wine. (own cost) just speak to your guide to pre order one of these.
It’s only a short drive now to the beautiful and historic Chapel Hill Winery. Have your taste buds primed and your camera poised as your host at Chapel Hill tantalises you with a wonderful structured wine tasting experience.in their picturesque cellar door. It’s now time to climb back on the bus as we head back towards Adelaide. But we’re taking the scenic route so you can gaze out at the Adelaide Coastline, as we journey towards our final featured destination of the day – Adelaide’s beautiful seaside suburb of Glenelg.
There are two options for you here.
Option 1, take a 15 min stroll to get an idea of what Glenelg has to offer, before hopping back on the bus to Adelaide, or
Option 2, leave the tour in Glenelg and spend a few leisurely hours enjoying the abundance of shops, restaurants and of course the beach, pick a spot for dinner and get ready to watch one of the most spectacular sunsets anywhere in the World.
Trams run from Glenelg to Adelaide every 20 minutes.

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.
I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Baden is an awesome tour guide / bus driver 😉
3 wineries visited that were a little main stream, the last was best, family run and informative.
Lunch was sufficient, not outstanding, as no choice of cheese.
I forgot my cap on the bus. When I called the next day to check, they were more than happy to ship it to Brisbane for me.
5 star service ⭐️
Edit: Got my hat back!! And they sent a stubbie holder as a little gift along with my hat.. ❤️

Five stars for the service!
Russell delivered great commentary, is funny and entertaining. What an Ambassador for your biz and the Barossa region.
T H A N K Y O U !!
Only thing missing from this tour was a stop at the chocolate factory 😉.
James’s commentary was interesting informative and fun. The tour stops, three wineries chosen and delicious charcuterie style lunch were all exceptional.
The teams at each of the wineries made us feel like VIPs with their hands on descriptions of the wine flights and history of their operations. Plus the wines were plentiful and amazing!
We felt so well looked after and couldn’t have had a better day.
