Enjoy Adelaide city views from the Mount Lofty Summit, wine tasting at Goldings Wines, travelling through the picturesque Onkaparinga Valley, exploring Melbas Chocolates and Woodside Cheese Wrights, discovering the history and charm of Australia's oldest German village, Hahndorf, panoramic views from the Artwine cellar door, Koala spotting through the native forests and travelling through quaint Adelaide Hills villages.

Why This Experience Stands Out

Clare Valley rewards those who are happy to travel a little further.


This tour is designed for guests who want a quieter, more considered wine experience — one shaped by open countryside, historic cellar doors, family-owned producers and a slower regional rhythm.


Rather than trying to fit Clare into a standard day-tour format, the experience is paced to suit the region. There is time to enjoy the journey, settle into each stop, appreciate the wines, and relax over lunch without the day feeling rushed.


It’s a thoughtful way to experience one of South Australia’s most distinctive wine regions — removed from the busier touring routes and all the more memorable for it.

Tour Highlights

  • Visit 3–4 carefully selected Clare Valley wineries

  • Enjoy a relaxed lunch tailored to your style — from shared platters to a 2-course restaurant experience, with venue and format chosen to suit your preferences

  • Experience a region renowned for its world-class Riesling

  • Discover historic cellar doors and boutique producers

  • Take in scenic countryside and vineyard landscapes

  • Travel comfortably on a premium extended day experience

  • Flexible itinerary tailored to your group
