Heritage, Premium Wines & Gourmet Flavours
Join us on a private, unforgettable journey through the world-renowned Barossa Valley, just over an hour north of Adelaide. Famed for its rich winemaking heritage, this region promises a day of indulgence for wine lovers and food enthusiasts alike.
Weekday guests begin their Barossa experience at Yalumba, Australia’s oldest family-owned winery. Enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes cooperage experience, where skilled artisans continue the traditional craft of barrel making. Learn how French and American oak barrels are crafted, toasted, and prepared, and discover how oak selection and maturation influence the structure, aroma, and complexity of fine wine. This rare experience provides a unique insight into the craftsmanship that underpins world-class Barossa winemaking.
Weekend guests enjoy a Food & Wine Matching Experience at Corryton Burge, where a selection of premium wines is expertly paired with seasonal bites designed to highlight flavour, texture, and balance. This engaging tasting experience showcases the Burge family’s winemaking legacy and contemporary approach to Barossa wine.
Continue to Langmeil Winery, where history and passion for winemaking come together. Enjoy a guided tasting of their finest varietals, including their iconic Barossa Shiraz. Langmeil is home to The Freedom Shiraz, believed to be from one of the oldest surviving Shiraz vineyards in the world, planted in 1843.
Visit Jacob’s Creek for a curated cellar door tasting experience in a contemporary setting surrounded by sweeping vineyard views. This stop showcases a modern expression of the Barossa, highlighting elegance, balance, and regional character.
Lunch is served at Harvest Kitchen, located within the Jacob’s Creek Visitor Centre. Enjoy a relaxed 2-course Mediterranean-inspired seasonal menu, perfectly paired with a glass of local wine, set against the backdrop of the vineyards.
Conclude the day at Calabria Family Wines with a Wine & Cuvee Chocolate Tasting Flight. Four premium wines are individually paired with handcrafted chocolates, creating a guided tasting experience designed to highlight flavour, texture, and balance.
This is a sample itinerary and offers just a glimpse into the treasures awaiting you in the Barossa Valley.

He was great, knowledgeable and overall a great guide.
The tour fulfilled all our wishes.
Loved Hahndorf very much!
The wine tasting at the various wineries was above and beyond any other one that we have experienced.
Thank you Adelaide and Beyond
Bruce was articulate and very knowledgable in every aspect of this tour.
The lunch and various wineries were visited and many a wine tasting.
I would highly recommend this tour to all fellow Australians and overseas visitors.
All the wineries were very welcoming, engaging and had interesting tales about their wines and history. Everything was included in the tour price, which was very reasonable and made for a smooth, easy day out. I look forward to another tour with Adelaide's Top Food & Wine Tours next time we're in the region.
Lunch was delicious and all the staff at the seller doors were so helpful, knowledgeable and good fun.
Vince, our guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly and we really enjoyed such a beautiful, relaxing day.
We never felt rushed or pushed by Mike or the Wineries visited. Lunch was excellent and plentiful.
All places visited were fantastic. Lunch was both excellent and large with the option to take home our dessert which we enjoyed later. We never felt rushed at any of the stops.
I have done lots of tours across Australia and the world (winery and non-wine related) and i've never been so offended within the first minute of a tour. Nowhere in the tour description did it mention that no smoking was allowed on the tour. I understand not on the transport and to smoke in designated areas while on tour, but Danny made it clear that it wasn't acceptable for me to have one during the day and made me commit to not smoking the entire day while i was out. Danny was aggressive in how he asked this and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and to be honest it completely ruined the day for me. I didn't want to get back in the car with Danny every time a tasting stopped. There was no going back from that moment.
Many people have commented on Danny's commentary, but I felt like i was being talked at most of the day rather than being engaged in a conversation. When Danny suggested we could get dropped off in Glenelg on the way back (came to find out it's closer to his home) he was defensive when I said we weren't interested in his recommendation. "it was just a suggestion".
There were a few comments that were almost verging on racist.
Please update your tour description to include no smoking on the tour all day so that you aren't putting new rules on your guests on the day and people are aware of what they're paying for. This wasn't a cheap tour. If you're unhappy with something, please be polite to your guests about it and don't make them feel uncomfortable.
I had a small nap on the way back to Adelaide and pretended to be asleep for the whole journey, so I didn't have to engage in any further conversation.
The bus was comfortable and being a small group, it was a very personalised tour.
Highly recommend Adelaide’s Top Food & Wine Tours!
We visiting 2 wineries before our charcuterie lunch at a 3rd, then one more winery to finish the day. We also managed to squeeze in a short visit to the 'cube' and a winery known for their olive oil. One of our guests was very keen to buy some local olive oil. We all enjoyed the day and were good chums by the end. Bruce was full of local info as well as sharing his sense of humour.
The wineries were all good and the first one especially so. Each winery offered good information about their wines and we enjoyed all the samples! The charcuterie board was splendid and enough food for all. We had 3 boards for 6 people! It was a great visit to McLaren Vale!
Danny was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable. He drove safely and gave a great commentary. I asked if we were going to go past the cube and he accommodated our requests and stopped there for great photo opportunities.
The wineries we visited were excellent. Maxwell's, Haselgrove, Hugo's and Wirra Wirra.
Adelaide's top food and wine tours is highly recommended and we plan to come back to Adelaide and do another tour at different wineries.
It was a wonderful day with lots of great wineries, food and most importantly, an expert guide.
Would thoroughly recommend!
A shortage of staff at one of the wineries unfortunately resulted in slow service and a reduction in wines offered.
He is so informative & told us just about everything that there is to know about the locations we visited & the sights that we saw.
The beautiful lunch was an added bonus by fast tracking the queues & the wine tasting was awesome aswell.
All in all, a great day out in the region, would definitely do it again & recommend to others.
Just opened & sampled the jam today, it was beautiful.
Thanks Danny, see you again next time we are in your neck of the woods.

The wineries were well selected and the lunch very delicious.
We did the tour in a group of 6 and I highly recommend taking small groups tour to have the opportunity to meet people and chat. Also, the pace is much more chill.
The meal included was lovely!
I highly recommend this tour!
NB: you should have breakfast before doing the tour because not every winery will serve you something to eat with the tasting.
Tasted wines from small, family run wineries which were handpicked to our taste.
Barossa Valley is very pretty with some stunning views. It feels a little of the beaten track and yet is only an hour away from Adelaide.
We had a very knowledgeable driver and learned a lot about Adelaide and the Barossa.
Absolutely loved it.
