Tour Highlights

Iconic Adelaide

Explore Adelaide, the tranquil capital of South Australia, renowned for its unique blend of history, culture, acclaimed food and wine, and picturesque surroundings. With your private guide, enjoy exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to some of Adelaide’s most esteemed institutions.

Discover the vibrant Adelaide Central Markets, where more than 150 years of history comes alive through fresh local produce, artisanal foods, and multigenerational vendors. Or, delve into the Jam Factory’s not-for-profit artisan studios, featuring outstanding craftsmanship in glass, ceramics, and leather, with a chance to tour the workshops and view one-of-a-kind pieces from emerging Australian creatives. Another option is a tour of Adelaide Oval, where you’ll visit restricted areas, the interactive player’s race, and the heritage-listed scoreboard of this iconic sports venue.

After exploring, enjoy a curated lunch at one of Adelaide’s standout dining spots. Then, take a short drive to the renowned Penfolds Magill Estate Cellar Door for a private tour and tasting, including the iconic Grange vintage. If time allows, finish with a visit to a scenic viewpoint before returning to your accommodation.

Ultimate Authentic Barossa Experience

Uncover the true essence of the Barossa’s terroir with exclusive experiences hosted by two of the region’s most storied wine families. Begin with a visit to the Henschke vineyards, where six generations have crafted exceptional wines from sustainably managed vineyards. Walk through the iconic Hill of Grace vineyard and original 1860s winery, followed by a curated tasting of Henschke’s acclaimed wines.

The journey continues to Hutton Vale Farm, a seven-generation property of the Angas family, where you’ll explore the vineyards and heritage buildings before enjoying a farmhouse lunch crafted from their own and local produce. Share in the Angas family’s stories over wines from their vineyard in an intimate garden setting. This immersive day weaves together the Barossa’s history, culture, and terroir, offering a genuine connection to one of Australia’s most iconic wine regions.

Exclusive R.M.Williams Workshop Tour

A definitive symbol of South Australia, R.M.William’s journey from swagman to millionaire is reflected in the iconic, hand-crafted Chelsea-style boots. Begin with a personal introduction to the legacy of R.M. Williams with an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the R.M.Williams workshop in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. Discover the craftsmanship and heritage behind the famed boots and witness the artisan process up close as the boots move through 80+ hands towards a finished product. Following a break for morning tea, continue to the Percy Street Store and Museum for a look at the brand’s rich history, and conclude with a personal fitting for your own pair of Craftsman boots.

Iconic McLaren Vale

Explore the renowned McLaren Vale wine region, where cooling sea breezes and verdant rolling hills create ideal conditions for premium wine. Begin at Shottesbrooke Wines, where an expert host will guide you through the winery and a private tasting straight from the barrel. At d’Arenberg, delve into their Alternate Realities Museum, featuring interactive wine exhibits and a captivating Salvador Dali art display, followed by a tasting with stunning views over the valley.

For lunch, savour seasonal dishes that showcase the region’s fresh produce at one of McLaren Vale’s celebrated restaurants. In the afternoon, visit Oliver’s Taranga, one of South Australia’s oldest family vineyards, where you’ll tour the estate by golf buggy and enjoy a multi-sensory tasting experience.
