Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

A historic wine region within easy reach of Adelaide

Langhorne Creek dates back to the 1850s and sits under an hour from Adelaide’s CBD, a compact region celebrated for its rich Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon — the kind of place where small‑scale, generational producers still define the tasting experience.

THE WINERIES

Family‑owned cellar doors and curated tastings

The tour visits family‑owned boutique wineries where cellar‑door staff take over tastings and talk through each producer’s history; the operator selects venues so you avoid extra tasting fees and can focus on sampling the region’s standout reds.

THE RIDE & MEAL

Luxury transport and a regional platter lunch

Travel in comfort in luxury Kia Carnival cars (six‑seat capacity) with water provided on board, and pause at one cellar door for a shared platter lunch that showcases local produce alongside the region’s wines.

What the day feels like

You’ll be collected from your accommodation in a small, luxury vehicle and driven the short hop to Langhorne Creek. Over roughly eight hours the guide shepherds a small group between family‑run cellar doors, handing guests to cellar‑door staff for focused tastings, and pausing for a shared platter lunch that highlights local produce — all designed so you return to your accommodation in time to rest before the evening.

Suitability

Those wanting simple logisticsA good match for travelers who appreciate door‑to‑door pickup from their accommodation and included transport and guidance for the day.

Large parties or strict schedulesLess suitable for very large groups or travelers who cannot accommodate variable pickup times; vehicle seating and small‑group format limit capacity, and Sunday bookings attract penalty rates.
