Join us for a personalised half-day adventure, visiting three to four of Coonawarra's finest cellar doors, depending on time spent at each.

Whatever your preference, there's a flavour to delight every palate.

Don't miss the chance to savour the best this celebrated wine region has to offer. Book now for an unforgettable journey through the stunning landscapes and exquisite tastes of Coonawarra.

A little about the region. Long before the first vines were planted, this land was cared for by Aboriginal people, and Coonawarra continues to acknowledge the Pinechunga people, connected to the broader Boandik nation, as the traditional custodians of this Country. Their deep and ongoing connection to the land stretches back thousands of years. It is widely believed that the very name "Coonawarra" comes from a local Aboriginal word thought to mean either honeysuckle or swan — a lasting reminder of the region's First Nations heritage. We share this history with respect and gratitude for the traditional owners, past and present

This is a fully hosted experience. All of your wine tasting fees and a shared produce platter lunch are included, along with comfortable transport and pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation. There are no hidden costs — simply relax and enjoy the day.

  • 1st Cellar Door     — Balnaves of Coonawarra or Hollick Winery . A wonderful introduction to the region's classic reds and warm cellar-door hospitality.
  • Lunch Stop           — a prepared shared platter at either Patrick of Coonawarra or Brand's Laira with WIne tasting
