Victor Harbor and d’Arenberg Small Group Premium Tour

About this tour

This eight-hour minibus tour sweeps through South Australia's McLaren Vale and Victor Harbor region, linking coastal towns with a renowned winery. Depart your accommodation for Port Elliot's clifftop vistas and Boomer Beach, where seals occasionally surface offshore. Spend two hours exploring Victor Harbor's beachfront—walk to Granite Island via horse-drawn carriage, browse local shops, or grab lunch. The return journey includes entry and wine tasting at d'Arenberg Cube, an architecturally striking McLaren Vale vineyard. Small group sizes (4–10 people) and a local guide ensure a relaxed pace throughout.

What to expect

You'll start early with tea or coffee at McLaren Vale, then travel south to Port Elliot where the Obelisk offers sweeping coastal photographs. A short coastal scramble at Boomer Beach gives you a chance to watch for seals in the water. Victor Harbor is yours to navigate—whether you opt for the nostalgic carriage ride to Granite Island, wander the main beach strip, or eat lunch at one of several waterfront venues. The return leg stops at d'Arenberg Cube, a bold modern structure housing art installations and the winery itself. Wine tasting (18+ only) is built in; non-drinkers can explore the galleries. Expect a full day of driving with photo stops rather than strenuous hiking.
