Tour Bits & Tips
-
Some of the cellar doors who will be present on the day are XO Wine Co, Harrison Wines, Lake Breeze, The Winehouse, Kimbolton Wines, Vineyard Road, Bleasdale, Rusticana, Bremerton, Watkins, Heartland, Next Crop Wines
-
Many wineries in the region don't have cellar doors, so this is a great opportunity to experience their wines and hospitality all at the same location
-
The cellar doors of Langhorne Creek are only a short 10 minute drive from Strathalbyn, making the wine region closer to Adelaide than what most people think.
-
The railway line that the South Coast Wine Train tour operates on is Australia's longest preserved volunteer railway with a total distance of over 80 kilometres of track.....make sure you say thanks to one of the volunteers that make the railway operate, from the train drivers to the track crew and cleaners and everyone in between!
-
Even though Langhorne Creek is known for it red varieties of wine such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, make sure you watch out for some of the whites too including Fiano, Vermentino and Verdelho.
