About this tour
An eight-hour loop through Adelaide's hills combining craft producers and cellar doors. You'll start with a factory tour and tasting at Haigh's Chocolates, climb to Mount Lofty Summit for views across the city, then venture into gin at Grunthal Brew before rolling through the villages of Stirling, Aldgate and Bridgewater. The afternoon settles into wine country—a flight at Golding Wines, local preserves at Beerenberg Strawberry Farm Shop, and a final tasting at Sidewood Cellar Door in Hahndorf. Lunch and all venue fees included.

What to expect
You'll travel by vehicle throughout the day, stopping at each venue for 30–45 minutes typically. Expect tastings rather than full meals (lunch is provided separately). The route climbs to Mount Lofty early on for views, then descends into the cooler hills valleys. Each tasting venue has its own character—factories, working farms, intimate cellars. Pacing is relaxed; this isn't rushed sightseeing. Most venues are accessible and welcoming to families, though some have limited seating indoors.
Good to know
Venues are subject to availability, so confirm ahead. If driving yourself, nominate a non-drinking driver. Prams and strollers are fine at most stops. Wear comfortable shoes for walking between tasting areas. The hills can be cooler than Adelaide proper, especially mornings.
