About Wine Valey Tours

Thoughtfully curated wine experiences across South Australia

Our Story

Founded in Adelaide in 2015, Wine Valley Tours was built on over four decades of dedicated hospitality and tourism experience. Since 1983, looking after people with exceptional care, warmth, and professionalism has been at the heart of everything we do.

Our philosophy is simple: remove the stress, slow the pace, and create private South Australian wine tours that are refined, comfortable, and completely personal. We don’t believe in rushed schedules or sharing a cramped bus with strangers. Instead, every itinerary is thoughtfully crafted to showcase region-defining wineries, breathtaking landscapes, and gourmet local dining at an effortless pace.

Why Guests Choose Wine Valley Tours

  • Decades of Hospitality Experience: Guided by passion and industry expertise since 1983, delivering seamless service from pickup to drop-off.

  • Exclusive Winery Relationships: Strong, long-standing connections with iconic winemakers across the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and Clare Valley allow us to offer curated, authentic tastings.

  • Luxury & Privacy: Travel in pristine, top-tier vehicles driven by immaculate, professional drivers dedicated exclusively to your group.

  • Thoughtfully Curated Itineraries: Perfectly balanced days featuring premium wine tastings, exquisite meals, and beautiful scenery without ever feeling rushed.

Whether you are seeking an exclusive private tour of historic cellars or a tailored journey through South Australia’s premier wine regions, Wine Valley Tours delivers an unforgettable experience defined by quality, character, and genuine care.

What Makes Our Wine Tours Different?

Curated tour itineraries

Each winery is selected for its unique character, wines, and atmosphere.

Visiting four wineries per wine tour

Full-day experiences designed to fit comfortably within a relaxed schedule.

Quality over quantity

Quality over quantity, every time. Balanced wine tastings designed for depth, never crowds or tight schedules. Tastings crafted around quality and connection, never rushed or crowded.

Recognised by the best wineries in South Australia

Long-standing relationships help ensure smooth visits and consistent quality.

Modern Comfort & Privacy from Door to Door

Your journey doesn’t start at the first cellar door—it begins the moment our private driver picks you up. We believe the time spent between destinations should be just as enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable as the tastings themselves.

  • Spacious Luxury Vehicles: Travel in modern, meticulously maintained vehicles designed specifically for premium group comfort and privacy.

  • Sociable Seating Layout: Unlike standard cars or rigid mini-buses, our open seating arrangements allow your group to face each other, share a laugh, and enjoy great conversation along the way.

  • Door-to-Door Convenience: Enjoy seamless, stress-free transfers from your accommodation directly to South Australia’s premier wine regions.

  • Uncompromising Comfort: Generous legroom, climate control, and smooth transport ensure you arrive relaxed and ready for every tasting.

A massive thank you to George for an absolutely amazing wine tour experience in Adelaide! We had a fantastic day visiting some of the region's best wineries, including Penfolds. George was incredibly professional and accommodating throughout the entire day, making sure everyone was happy and had a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. If you're looking for a top-notch wine tour, we highly recommend George!

What an amazing day exploring the beautiful Barossa Valley with George - who knows all the best cellar doors, producers and the history of this historic wine region. George was helpful and flexible in designing a day around our interests, and also has fixed itineraries which showcase great and popular producers and more specialised, smaller family wineries. Importantly, George's connections and relationships saw us jump the queue, get in to places already booked out, and sample extra tastings. We looked at other generic tours, but George provides an excellent value for money option if you have two people like us, or a larger group visiting for a day or a weekend. We travelled in a large, comfortable van with reclining seats and pickup / drop off from our Adelaide hotel was no problem. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend you contact George if you're planning a trip to the wineries and towns around Adelaide to see what he can do for you. Five Stars George!

We had a fantastic experience with George! His luxurious van made our day touring the vineyards of McLaren Vale even more enjoyable and comfortable. George took care of everything, making the whole day easy and stress-free. I accidentally left my coat in the van, and he kindly went out of his way to return it to me the next day. Such thoughtful service! Communication was great, and it was so easy to organise. I would definitely recommend George to anyone visiting the Adelaide wine region.

My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic day with George visiting Penfolds and the surrounding Adelaide Hills wineries. We even had time for a stop off for lunch in Hahndorf. I couldn’t fault George for his knowledge of hospitality and he even volunteered to take us to the airport after the tour was complete. I couldn’t speak more highly of George and would recommend his company to anyone looking to experience the Adelaide Hills!
