Adelaide: Barossa Premium Wine Tour with 4 tastings & lunch
About This Experience
This is the Barossa day most first-time visitors end up booking, and the review count explains why: it is the most-reviewed Barossa wine tour on GetYourGuide by a wide margin. Operated by See Adelaide & Beyond under its Taste the Barossa brand, it runs as a full eight-hour day in a 20-seat coaster with panoramic windows, collecting guests from more than fifty points around the Adelaide CBD and Glenelg before heading north through the Adelaide Hills.
The tasting line-up is the part that separates it from a standard cellar-door crawl. At Kies Family Wines in Lyndoch you are taken past the public counter and into the private barrel room for a tasting reserved for this tour's guests; the Kies family has been growing Barossa fruit for six generations. Chateau Tanunda follows — a bluestone winery dating to 1890 and one of the region's landmark buildings — where you get a structured seated tasting and time to walk the grounds. A third private tasting at three-generation Rosenvale Vineyards is the one guests single out most often in reviews.
Lunch is a regional platter built from Barossa produce, served with a glass of Yalumba wine or a soft drink, and the day finishes with a private Yalumba fortified tasting paired with chocolate at Melba's. There is a photo stop on Seppeltsfield Road, the palm-lined avenue that is the most photographed stretch of road in the valley. You are back in Adelaide in time for dinner, and nobody in your party has had to nominate a driver.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.8/5 by 1,555 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
I had a wonderful time at the Barossa valley wine tasting, it was a fantastic day from start to finish! Jordan was our host, he was really welcoming, he looked after everyone, and was really knowledgeable on the Barossa valley and Adelaide in general. He brought a lot of fun and culture to the trip, thanks Jordan! The three wineries we stopped off at were excellent, the wine was incredible, the hosts really lovely and knowledgeable, we got even more tastings that I expected - so, great value for money, and the organic meats and cheese board for lunch was delicious and needed to soak up all the wine from the day! Would 100% recommend!

Baden was a fantastic guide and the whole day was lovely. Particular praise for the Rosenvale vineyard tour, owner was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his wines and was a great experience.

I went into the tasting tour as a complete wine novice; our tour guide Aaron was incredibly generous with his knowledge so I didn’t embarrass myself. The wineries were fabulous and the lunch absolutely divine, with exceptional local produce. Aaron’s knowledge of the area and its history was phenomenal and made for such an interesting day. Would absolutely recommend!
