Sydney
Convict-era pubs, working-class brewing precincts, and the Hunter Valley a comfortable bus-ride away. Sydney is our flagship region and where it all started.
Three world-class wine regions inside an hour of the city, plus a small but excellent inner-Adelaide gin and beer scene. The most-overlooked drinks state in the country.
South Australia is the most-overlooked drinks state in the country. The Barossa is the historical heart of Australian shiraz. McLaren Vale is the better wine-and-coast day-trip. The Adelaide Hills do cool-climate pinot and chardonnay better than most. And the city itself has a small but excellent gin scene.
Our Adelaide crew runs five tours, all departing from the CBD. The flagship is the Barossa Winery Weekend, which is exactly what it sounds like — two nights, two cellar door days, and a long lunch at Maggie Beer’s.
Barossa Winery Weekend. Three or four cellar doors, a long lunch at Maggie Beer’s, and a Sunday brunch at Hentley Farm. Tour pickup from Adelaide CBD on Friday afternoon.
McLaren Vale Shiraz Day. Three small-producer cellar doors, a paired lunch at d’Arenberg, and a stop at the Aphelion winery. Day-trip from Adelaide.
Adelaide Hills Cellar Door Loop. Six cellar doors in a single afternoon — the highest density of small-producer tasting we run anywhere in Australia.
A lot of guests pair Canberra with Sydney or the Hunter. We co-ordinate the booking across the network.

Craft beer in industrial Brunswick, pinot noir in the Yarra, gin on the Mornington — Melbourne's drinks scene rewards the curious traveller more than any other city.
More distilleries per square kilometre than any city on earth — and a food and beer scene to match. Tasmania is the under-rated drinks destination of the country.
