This is an approximately eight-hour private wine tour to the Barossa Valley for a minimum of two people and a maximum of six. The description emphasizes a tailored route and the guide’s local knowledge, with a focus on some of the Barossa’s smaller producers. Confirmed inclusions are a private, tailored tour and Adelaide and Barossa pickup and drop-off. Lunch and tasting fees are excluded, so travelers should plan for those separately.
