Visit three hand-selected wineries or two wineries plus a gin and vodka distillery, with complimentary cheese and chocolate pairings available. The day suits everyone—seasoned collectors, curious newcomers, and those shifting from beer or spirits. Set amongst rolling farmland and mountain views, the valley holds nearly 200 producers. Lunch is at your own cost, though your guide books a table at a local favourite.

What to expect
Your guide will collect you and build the day around what appeals to you—classic Shiraz, experimental pairings, or exploring local gin production. At each stop, you'll taste from the cellar door with time to browse or chat with winemakers. Cheese and chocolate tastings happen on-site if you choose them. Mid-afternoon, you'll break for lunch at a restaurant your guide has pre-booked; the meal cost is separate. Throughout, expect rolling hillside views, relaxed pacing, and no rushing between venues. If wildlife interests you, the keeper-supervised park is an optional add-on.
