About this tour

A private eight-hour wine tour through South Australia's Barossa Valley in a comfortable Land Cruiser, departing from Adelaide or Barossa in the morning. You'll visit three celebrated wineries, meeting winemakers and tasting flagship productions including the world's oldest producing Shiraz vine at Freedom Cellar, lunch at Peter Lehmann, and fortified wines at Seppeltsfield—with the option to sample a vintage from your birth year.

Highlights

  • Meet winemakers and taste Freedom Shiraz from the world's oldest producing vine
  • Private tastings in newly renovated Freedom Cellar with exclusive access
  • Lunch included at Peter Lehmann Winery
  • Sample award-winning fortified wines and vintage selections at Seppeltsfield
  • Small group maximum of six people for intimate experience

What to expect

Your guide collects you early morning and drives you into the Barossa's rolling vineyard landscape. At Freedom Cellar, you'll meet makers keen to explain their craft and the significance of their heritage vine, tasting their signature Shiraz directly. Lunch at Peter Lehmann is a seated affair with food and wine pairing. The final stop at Seppeltsfield—Australia's fortified wine authority—lets you sample rare ports and sherries, including a bottle from your birth year if available. Expect conversation-heavy visits rather than rushed tastings; this is about understanding production and terroir.
