INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR WINE TOUR

Departure Date and pick up-point: The date is as outlined in your booking confirmation document and your pick-up point and time will be confirmed on your hotel notice board.

Provided with the compliments of the South Australian Tourism Commission, during your stay in Adelaide you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of one of Australia’s oldest, most iconic wineries, enabling you to unearth the soul of Australian wine on a tour of Penfolds Magill Estate.

Situated on one of the world’s few urban single vineyards, the spiritual home of Penfolds is only 15-20 minutes from Adelaide city centre. Make your own way to the designated meeting point (to be outlined in your final travel itinerary), where you will join the coach transfer to Penfolds.

Upon arrival you will take a guided walk through the original working winery, explore the vineyards and uncover the historic tales of the underground drives.

Your experience will conclude with a casual Penfolds wine tasting experience showcasing the Australian Collection. Please note that this is a large group wine tasting in a standing area and seating is not available.

Upon conclusion of the visit, you will board your transfer coach for the return journey to Adelaide.

Day Trip to Adelaide

The Barossa is in South Australia, about 70km north-east of Adelaide, the state’s capital city. Your trip will include a visit of the city centre, The State Library of South Australia and lunch at a local wine bar and kitchen.

The State Library is the information heart of South Australia, located in the North Terrace Cultural Precinct. You will have the opportunity to explore all three buildings: the award-winning contemporary Catherine Helen Spence Wing with its iconic glass foyer, the Mortlock Wing with its 19th century Victorian splendour, and the 1861 heritage listed Institute Building.

Sweeping stadium views, stylish bar and lounge, premium menu and extensive wine list. Bespoke Wine Bar & Kitchen is one of Adelaide’s most impressive dining experiences.

Extending across level three of Oval Hotel and into the iconic Adelaide Oval, Bespoke’s unique setting makes a stunning backdrop lunch.

Executive Chef Daniel Simpson’s modern Australian menu brings bold flavours to life through fresh, seasonal produce. Two drinks are included, and you may choose from house wine, beer or a soft drink.

After lunch you will be transferred to the North Terrace, Adelaide city where you can choose to spend your time either at Rundle Mall, The Art Gallery of South Australia or South Australian Museum.

PLEASE NOTE: We have been advised that the carpet is being replaced in the Mortlock Chamber (section of the library) and we are now unable to conduct tours through this section during July so we will amend the Private tour of the State Library slightly and now include access to the basement (old & rare artifacts storage) which is an area of the library usually inaccessible to the public.
