Half-Day Afternoon Wine Tasting and Coast

Experience the perfect blend of rolling vineyards and seaside charm on the Half-Day Afternoon Wine Tasting and Coast. We’ll be leaving Adelaide at 12:45 pm, and this 5-hour trip (not too long, just the right amount of time to unwind) takes you up into the Adelaide Hills and on down to McLaren Vale, where you can get up close & personal with local wines at cellar doors, two of them, actually.

This tour, the Half-Day Afternoon Wine Tasting and Coast, is the perfect way for wine enthusiasts and sunset chasers to get away from it all. It’s designed for people who want to taste the best wines on offer but don’t have a whole day to spare, so you get the full wine experience without feeling like you’re stuck to a schedule. We do this by combining a couple of the best boutique wineries in McLaren Vale with some of the most stunning coastal views and finishing off your day in the seaside town of Glenelg.

Clamp yourselves aboard our comfy 20 seater coaster and let your worries melt away as we cruise up into the Adelaide Hills, then off to those wineries for some wine tastings. And then, as the sun starts to set, let the wind in your hair as we take a leisurely coastal drive and see how you feel about spending some time in Glenelg, maybe grab a dinner by the beach, take a relaxed stroll or do absolutely nothing and just enjoy the beach atmosphere.
