Good to know
This suits anyone interested in food, drink and scenic touring who doesn't mind a full day with multiple stops and tastings. It works for families with infants (prams welcome; under-2s sit on laps) and all fitness levels since most time is spent in vehicles or at stationary venues. Note: venue availability isn't guaranteed, so confirm with your operator before booking. The tour involves several tastings, so plan accordingly if you're driving separately afterwards. Public transport options exist nearby if needed. Weather on Mount Lofty can change quickly—bring a light layer. Group size and exact timing aren't specified; check with the operator for peak season crowds.
