What to expect
You'll be picked up and driven to Penneshaw or a meeting point in an air-conditioned vehicle with your private guide. From there, you'll visit a series of cellar doors around the island — the exact venues depend on your interests and the guide's recommendations. At each stop, you'll taste wines, chat with winemakers or cellar door staff, and learn about the vineyard's approach and the island's terroir.
The pace is unhurried; you spend as long as you want at each location. Your guide will share context about Kangaroo Island's wine region, its cool climate advantages, and what distinguishes local producers. The day concludes with a return to your starting point, typically in early evening.

Good to know
This suits wine lovers who want a tailored experience without the constraints of a group tour schedule. You can ask the guide to prioritise smaller producers, organic wines, or particular varieties. No fitness demands — all tastings happen at cellar doors with minimal walking. Key caveat: South Australian law prohibits children (under 18) from entering licensed premises, so this is adults-only except for infants in prams or strollers who remain outside tasting areas. Service animals are welcome. No meals are included; budget for lunch separately or ask your guide for recommendations. Costs per bottle purchased are separate from the tour price.
