Tailored to You
We welcome you to shape the itinerary to your interests, or simply let us design the perfect day on your behalf. Whether you're an experienced wine lover or a first-time visitor, this experience offers an intimate and enriching way to connect with Coonawarra.
We had the most fabulous day exploring the vineyards around Penola and Coonawarra with Kerry and Coonawarra Experiences.
What is included in your tour?
Your small tour group will visit 4-5 of Coonawarra's best cellar doors, meet the winemakers, and enjoy intimate private tasting sessions with your hosts. We'll have a delicious lunch in town and take in a spot of local sightseeing along the way.
We work closely with our friends at Coonawarra's cellar doors to provide you with a unique hosted experience that you couldn't recreate on your own.
The exact locations may vary depending on the day, but we always use our extensive local knowledge and connections to create a memorable experience for you.
We usually make it to 4-5 cellar doors located along Coonawarra's "Terra Rossa" strip.
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 cellars 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. An alternate menu will be served at Parker Estate on Tuesdays & Wednesdays.
Drinks are not included with lunch, but you are welcome to order off the menu and pay as you go.
Dietary requirements can be catered for, just let us know what you need.
