Horsham Tours organizes guided day trips around regional Victoria, focusing on cultural heritage, public art, and local wine experiences. The company offers three signature experiences: the Cave Painting and Grampians Tour, A Day in the Life, and the Time Out Tour. The Cave Painting and Grampians Tour is a six-hour guided outing that visits 22,000-year-old cave paintings, the local Aboriginal Cultural Centre, and the Ngamadjidj Shelter, finishing with a regional olive oil tasting that highlights Victoria’s culinary heritage.
A Day in the Life guides visitors through Horsham’s public art trail, showcasing a four-story silo mural, the historic Stick Shed, and murals at Matoa and Sheep Hill Silos, with interpretive commentary about local history and artistic techniques. The Time Out Tour runs on weekends and pairs scenic views from Mt. Arapiles with tastings at Barangaroo Boutique Wines and Norton Estate; the experience includes opportunities to meet winemakers and enjoy a curated cheese platter alongside featured wines.
