What to expect
You'll spend the morning driving between Barossa's established estates in a comfortable vehicle, stopping to taste wines directly with producers rather than in crowded tasting rooms. Expect to learn specifics about winemaking techniques and terroir as you move through cellars and vineyard grounds. Lunch at Peter Lehmann gives you a proper sit-down meal mid-tour. The afternoon focuses on fortified wines at Seppeltsfield, where staff can locate a bottle from your birth year if available—a novelty but genuinely interesting. Pacing is relaxed; bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes for short walks between tastings.
