Adelaide Hills Private Wine Tour

Langhorne Creek Private Wine Tour
Discover one of South Australia’s most authentic wine regions — relaxed, welcoming and quietly exceptional
Open spaces, cellar doors without crowds, and a day that feels like your own
Tucked between the Adelaide Hills and Lake Alexandrina, Langhorne Creek is one of South Australia’s most authentic and quietly exceptional wine regions.
Shaped by fertile floodplains and a long-standing connection to the land, it’s a place where generations of family growers sit alongside a new wave of winemakers — all contributing to a region known for quality, character, and genuine hospitality.
With a small number of cellar doors and a more personal approach to wine tourism, Langhorne Creek offers something increasingly rare — a genuine connection to the people, the wines, and the landscape.
This private tour has been designed to reflect that spirit — creating a day that feels relaxed, immersive, and distinctly different from the more visited regions.
Why This Experience Stands Out
Langhorne Creek offers something different — and this experience is built around that difference.
Rather than following a fixed itinerary or moving quickly between busy cellar doors, the day is shaped around time, pace, and personal connection.
You’ll enjoy unhurried tastings, often hosted by the people behind the wines, with the flexibility to spend more time where it matters and less time where it doesn’t.
It’s a more considered way to experience a wine region — one that feels effortless, personal, and genuinely enjoyable from beginning to end.

Your Day in Langhorne Creek
Sample Itinerary:
Morning – Scenic departure
Pick-up from your Adelaide accommodation before heading up through the Adelaide Hills, travelling across rolling landscapes before the scenery opens into the wide, fertile plains of Langhorne Creek.
Late Morning – First tastings
Arrive at your first cellar door for a relaxed tasting, often hosted by a boutique or family-owned winery. Continue to a second stop, where you’ll experience more of the region’s distinctive styles in a welcoming, unhurried setting.
Midday – Lunch your way
Enjoy a relaxed lunch experience tailored to your preference — whether that’s a classic country pub meal, winery platters, or a light regional option.
Time is set aside to settle in, enjoy the atmosphere, and take a break at your own pace.
Afternoon – Explore & unwind
Continue with additional tastings or take a short detour through the historic township of Strathalbyn — known for its heritage streetscapes, antique stores, and relaxed riverside setting.
Optional scenic moments near Lake Alexandrina may be included depending on the flow of the day.

Sit back and enjoy a comfortable drive back to Adelaide, arriving in the late afternoon.
