Spend a full day out of Adelaide exploring the Barossa Valley’s wineries, lookouts and wildlife. This coach-based experience mixes guided tastings, a gourmet vineyard lunch and short, easy walks through classic South Australian vineyard country.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a groovy 20-seat coach in Adelaide and the city thins behind you. The road climbs into the Adelaide Hills, eucalyptus and dry stone fences giving way to rows of vines that fan across the valley like crop lines. The air shifts—drier, a little mineral—and the guide’s voice threads local stories through the ride as kangaroos glance up from paddocks.

Wildlife
History
The Barossa was settled largely by German-speaking immigrants in the 1840s who established towns, bakeries and a viticultural culture still visible in architecture and family-run wineries.
Conservation
Many Barossa producers practice water-wise and low-intervention viticulture; support sustainability by staying on paths, taking rubbish with you, and buying from cellar doors that share environmental credentials.
