Over approximately 8.5 hours, guests visit two of Barossa's esteemed wineries paired with two boutique distilleries known for refined gin production. Each stop offers curated tastings where knowledgeable guides share insights into the wine and gin-making processes, from terroir influences to distillation techniques. This behind-the-scenes access enriches the tasting experience, connecting visitors to the craftsmanship behind every bottle.
