The Barossa Valley is one of the world's great wine regions - a place where old-vine Shiraz, generous hospitality, and stunning landscapes combine to create an unforgettable experience. With more than 150 cellar doors to choose from, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.
Whether you're visiting on one of our small group tours or booking a private charter from Adelaide, this guide will help you make the most of your day. We've curated our favourite ten cellar doors - a mix of iconic names and boutique producers - to give you a well-rounded taste of everything the Barossa has to offer.
Our tours depart from Adelaide and typically visit three to four wineries in a day, giving you time to properly explore each one without feeling rushed. Here are the wineries we love most.
