About this tour
A 7-hour hop-on hop-off wine tour through the Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf region with the flexibility to set your own pace. You'll board from the Adelaide CBD and follow an hourly circuit stopping at 8–10 hand-picked wineries and venues, free to disembark and explore independently at any of the 4 scheduled stops, then return to the city by 5:00 pm. Perfect for wine drinkers who want to taste without being shepherded through a group itinerary.

What to expect
You'll be collected from Stamford Plaza Hotel in Adelaide's CBD in the morning and settle into an air-conditioned coach for the drive to Hahndorf. Once there, the bus runs a set hourly loop through the Adelaide Hills, stopping at four designated points along the route. At each stop, you're free to get off and spend as long as you like — whether that's 20 minutes or three hours — exploring cellar doors, tasting wine, and soaking in the local atmosphere at your own speed. The bus returns to the same stops on the hour, so you can hop back on whenever you're ready and continue the circuit. You'll cycle through the same loop until the final return journey departs mid-afternoon, arriving back in Adelaide around 5:00 pm. Tasting fees at each venue are paid directly to the cellar door, so costs are transparent and individual.

Good to know
This suits wine enthusiasts and curious drinkers who want to explore multiple cellar doors without the rigid schedule of a standard group tour. It's also ideal if you'd prefer to linger at one favourite winery instead of rushing through several. The format works for all fitness levels since you're travelling by coach. However, note that cellar door tastings aren't included — you'll pay per venue — and lunch isn't provided, so budget for food at one of the stops or bring supplies. Groups are capped at 15 people, keeping it intimate. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and infants sit on a parent's lap. Public transport is available nearby if you're staying locally.
