Shore Excursion: Hahndorf & Barossa Valley including Lunch

About this tour

You'll spend time in the Barossa Valley sampling wines at two separate producers and enjoying lunch at one cellar door, then explore the historic German settlement of Hahndorf at your own pace. The itinerary syncs with ship schedules, so you can relax knowing the timing works around your vessel's departure.

• Wine tastings at two Barossa Valley cellar doors
• Lunch included at a working vineyard

What to expect

You'll depart Port Adelaide in a shared coach with fellow cruise passengers and head inland to the Barossa Valley. The first stop involves a tasting at one producer, followed by a second at another cellar door where you'll sit down for lunch. Expect a relaxed pace—these aren't hurried visits. In the afternoon, you'll drive to Hahndorf, a charming village founded by Lutheran migrants, where you have free time to wander heritage buildings, visit shops, or grab a coffee (at your own cost). The guide coordinates your departure to align with ship check-in times.
