About this tour
An 8-hour guided tasting tour across Kangaroo Island that combines producer visits with scenic drives. You'll call at a honey farm, eucalyptus distillery, lavender farm, wineries and a gin distillery, with morning tea and tastings included throughout. Suit yourself if you want to sample local food and drink without planning stops yourself, though lunch isn't included and you'll need to budget for it separately.
Highlights
- Learn about Ligurian bees at Clifford's Honey farm
- Taste eucalyptus spirit and cider at the distillery
- Morning tea and lavender scones at Emu Bay farm
- Wine tasting with views at Bay of Shoal Wines
- Award-winning gin tasting at Kangaroo Island Spirits
- Craft beer tasting paddle included throughout
- Hotel pickup and drop-off covered
What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation in the morning and driven to Clifford's Honey to begin with a talk on local bee-keeping. From there the day moves between producers — the eucalyptus distillery for spirit and cider tastings, then Emu Bay Lavender Farm where you'll have tea and scones (weather and farm opening permitting). Mid-morning you'll move to Bay of Shoal Wines for wine tastings with island views. You'll choose between two venues for a self-funded lunch break before visiting Kangaroo Island Spirits for gin tasting. Depending on time, a second winery may be included before you're returned to your hotel by late afternoon.

Good to know
This tour works well for food and drink enthusiasts who want a curated route without the hassle of driving between venues themselves. You need to be 18 or over to participate in tastings. Lunch isn't included, so budget for a meal at either Kangaroo Island Fresh Seafood or Cactus Cafe — prices aren't stated, so check in advance. The lavender farm component depends on seasonal opening and plant availability. Infants can travel in prams; specialised car seats are available. Pacing involves multiple stops but no strenuous walking, and the experience suits varied fitness levels. Public transport exists nearby if needed for alternatives.
