Our guide and driver Tim was exceptional! He quickly picked up on what would suit both us and the other couple and we set off for a fabulous day of wine tasting and laughter. A standout was Paulmara Estates but every winery was a good experience.
A five star day!
Highly recommended
Steve was an excellent guide—his knowledge of the region and its wines was fantastic, and he took us to some amazing boutique vineyards that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. The day was well-organised, with a delicious food platter for lunch, and Steve’s flexibility made it even better. He happily accommodated a quick coffee stop after our tastings and even dropped us off at Glenelg Beach at the last minute.
It was a fantastic day, and we’d highly recommend Cellar Door Tours to anyone looking for a top-notch wine experience. Already looking forward to trying the Barossa Valley tour next time! 🍷
All wineries were very friendly and welcoming and we were able to try many varieties of wines that we had not been exposed to before.
Tim was able to assist with shipping wine purchases from multiple wineries back to WA, which ensured we were able to purchase everything we wanted.
Highly recommended, and we would definitely use again.
The day included a delightful lunch, and Steve's knowledge of the wine industry truly shone. He took us to some incredible wineries, including my favourite stop at Barossa Valley Cheese Company. The hidden gems we visited were beyond amazing—places I never would have found on my own!
Plus, the door-to-door service from our hotel in Adelaide CBD was super convenient. Steve prioritised safety, and his connections in the industry made the experience even more special. I can’t recommend this tour enough; If you want a secret location, just mention “Nissan Leaf, solar power” to Steve, and he’ll take you on a memorable journey! Overall, an unforgettable day filled with laughter, great wines, and delicious cheese. I am super impressed that Steve took us to the wineries that offered to freight our wine back to the Gold Coast, for our client gifts!
Cheers to that! 🍷🧀
A few weeks prior, I was researching and connecting with all the tour companies to determine which would suit our group best and from the beginning the communications and tone of the emails were easy going, friendly and exactly what our group was looking for.
Both days we were fortunate enough to have Steve as our guide, he was extremely knowledgeable about the areas, knew the best unique wineries to go to and ensured we had the right balance of conversation, jokes and fun on our trips.
Lunch both days were excellent and catered for vegan / vegetarian or other dietaries well.
We would highly recommend this tour company for any wine tours in SA.
Steve listened to our requests as well as surprised us with new wineries to try and made sure we had all the tips and tastings of the best wines.
It was a great weekend away and we would easily do another tour with this company!
Thanks!!!
Steve shared his extensive knowledge of the region and took us to an amazing selection of wineries which was tailored to our tastes and requests, but also places that pleasantly challenged our preconceptions about certain wines.
Steve ensured that we were comfortable throughout the day and even assisted with shipping of our wines back home. I would highly recommend Cellar Door Wine Tours to anyone visiting Adelaide and it's beautiful wine regions
Thanks for not dropping us in the forest and for our London Bridgeness,!
He ensured we enjoyed both of the tours we booked & that each venue ticked all the boxes on our wish list.
We look forward to booking with Cellar Door Wine Doors for our next visit.
We were lucky enough to have Steve as our driver both days and we all had the best time. He took us to some absolute gem wineries! He was knowledgeable, and hilarious - our cheeks were sore from laughing. We are 1000% booking next year when we return!
We highly recommend Cellar Door for your next wine tour!
The day is aways tailored and is about the experience and quality, so no rushing to get to the next winery, you can spend as little or as long as you want.
If you are after a unique experience, exceptional wine, terrible dad jokes and an awesome time, Cellar Door Tours have you covered.
