Tour Details

Your small tour group will visit 4-5 of Coonawarra's best cellar doors, meet the winemakers, and enjoy intimate private tasting sessions with your hosts. We'll have a delicious lunch in town and take in a spot of local sightseeing along the way.

We work closely with our friends at Coonawarra's cellar doors to provide you with a unique hosted experience that you couldn't recreate on your own.

The exact locations may vary depending on the day, but we always use our extensive local knowledge and connections to create a memorable experience for you.

We usually make it to 4-5 cellar doors located along Coonawarra's "Terra Rossa" strip.

You can suggest your favourites or we can tailor the day to suit your wine preferences. We can offer everything from crisp whites to big bold reds at iconic cellars doors or family owned and operated.
