Our Golden Rules for a Great Hop-On, Hop-Off Tour

Hi there! To make the most of your day and keep everyone safe, please read our Golden Rules carefully. If you’re booking for a group, please share this information with the other passengers.

1. Alcohol Safety & Behaviour

• TrailHopper tours are not “booze cruises” — our buses are not licensed, and alcohol must not be consumed onboard.
• Passengers must behave respectfully toward drivers, staff, other passengers, and wineries.
• The driver and TrailHopper management may remove passengers whose behaviour is unsafe or disruptive, without refund.
• Passengers should bring food and water to ensure a comfortable day.

2. Venue Bookings & Information Packs

• Many wineries now require bookings; some are Essential, others Recommended.
• Tasting fees, food options, and booking requirements vary by venue.
• Each tour has a specific Information Pack with timetables, venue details, and booking requirements.

Please view the Information Pack for your tour region:

• Barossa Valley Information Pack
• McLaren Vale North Information Pack
• McLaren Vale South Information Pack
• Adelaide Hills & Hahndorf Information Pack

3. Timetables & Tour Structure

• Tours allow up to four 1-hour stops. Choosing a long lunch (2 hours) reduces this to three stops.
• To maximise your day, follow the timetable order (top-down).
• Be at your pickup location 5 minutes early.

4. Large Groups (7+ Passengers)

• Groups of 7 or more follow a structured format: 2 pre-booked tastings and 1 long lunch.
• Please check our Large Group Bookings page and contact our office before booking.

5. Acceptance of Terms

By completing your booking, you confirm that you have read and agree to TrailHopper’s Golden Rules and Terms & Conditions on behalf of all passengers in your booking.
