Enjoy an Immersive Guided Wine Tour in Coonawarra, South Australia

Get to know the real Coonawarra with this all day super special bundled tour. We will take you to see some of the best cellar doors and attractions that this wonderful region has to offer and we'll even look after lunch!

Let us take you on a hosted journey to experience our favourite cellar doors in the Limestone Coast region.

Discover Coonawarra’s famous “Terra Rossa” strip, where we’ll introduce you to the talented winemakers who run some of the best wineries in South Australia.

Enjoy wine tastings at several cellar doors, a delicious lunch in town, and some scenic sightseeing in between. Take your time to soak in the history of generations of Coonawarra winemakers and talk with the people who make our region so special.

You can suggest your favourites or we can tailor the day to suit your wine preferences. We can offer everything from crisp whites to big bold reds at iconic cellar doors or family owned and operated.

For lunch, the fantastic crew at Ottelia will put on a bit of a feast for us, which usually includes fresh seasonal produce and wood-fired pizzas. Alternatively, we can suggest some other wonderful eateries to dine with. 

Drinks are not included with lunch, but you are welcome to order from the menu and pay as you go.

Should you really want to spoil yourself, why not add our Wynns Coonawarra Icon Tasting Experience for only $65 each per person when booking your tour.
