Adelaide Hills Private Wine Tour

Clare Valley Private Wine Tour

A premium escape into one of South Australia’s most refined and picturesque wine regions

Rolling vineyards, historic charm and a slower, more considered day

A little further from Adelaide — and all the better for it — Clare Valley offers a more refined, less hurried wine experience.


Known for its world-class Riesling, historic cellar doors, and scenic countryside, Clare Valley feels distinctly different from the larger, more visited regions. It’s quieter, more traditional, and deeply connected to its winemaking heritage.


This private tour has been designed as a premium day out — allowing time to travel comfortably, enjoy each tasting, and experience the region at the pace it deserves

.

From boutique producers to iconic estates, the day flows naturally, combining wine, scenery, and a long, relaxed lunch into a memorable experience.

Why This Experience Stands Out

Clare Valley isn’t a region to rush — and this tour reflects that.


With fewer crowds and a more traditional wine culture, it offers a deeper, more immersive experience for those wanting something beyond the typical day tour.


The journey itself becomes part of the experience, with time to take in the changing landscapes, settle into each winery, and enjoy a slower rhythm throughout the day.


It’s a more considered way to experience South Australian wine country — and one that rewards those who take the time.

  • Enjoy a long, relaxed 2-course lunch with wine

  • Experience a region renowned for its world-class Riesling
