The day opens with the salty Pacific light on the Bay of Shoals and a small group easing into a 4WD that hums across Kangaroo Island’s low ridges. You’ll move from honey-scented storefronts to eucalyptus steam rising off a still, then to a vineyard that gazes over a sheltered bay—each stop a focused tasting and a short walk that places food and place on equal footing.
