Taste the Barossa Premium Barossa Valley Wine Tour. Featuring World Class wineries you’ll feel like a VIP as you enjoy the kind of hospitality that only passionately family-owned wineries can offer. With our exquisite cellar door experiences Taste the Barossa captures the very essence of what makes the Barossa Valley one of the World’s greatest wine producing regions.
Enjoy the warmest of welcomes as you taste an extensive range of wines, listen to unique stories and learn about everything wine and wine making. For lunch we enjoy some of the finest and freshest local foods on a delicious regional platter. Join us for a full day of Tantalising wine, sumptuous food and a sprinkling of sightseeing.
Your Taste the Barossa bus will pick you up at one of our many pick-up locations around Glenelg or Adelaide. Relax and enjoy expert commentary from one of our knowledgeable tour guides as you head off on your Barossa Valley adventure. Travel the scenic route through the beautiful Adelaide Hills as you enjoy some information and humour along the way. Look out for Kangaroos, and Emu’s and marvel at the changing landscape as we approach the Barossa Valley.
Being a family business ourselves we love to support other outstanding family businesses. Kies Family Wines is exactly that. With a warm welcome and a tag line of ‘The Taste of Happiness’ Kies family wines will make you feel super special. We are incredibly lucky to enjoy our first tasting experience in their amazing wine making facility, surrounded by huge wine vats affectionately named after their family members. An exclusive and unique experience tasting award winning wines.
Our next stop is the historic country town of Tanunda. Here you can amble along the high street, browse in the local shops, or grab yourself a coffee, and have a relaxing 20 mins of watching the world go by.
From Tanunda it’s onto the very beautiful and iconic Turkey Flat Vineyards. Once again, a passionate family-owned winery with a proud history dating back to 1847. Here we enjoy a wonderful, structured tasting before settling down to an incredible regional platter lunch of the highest quality. Made up of local meats, fresh breads, cheeses, pate and an assortment of other local delights, this is the perfect lunch during a day of wine tasting. There are also vegetarian, vegan and gluten free platters if you need. There’s no rushing your meal, with ample time to enjoy some good company and get to know your fellow travellers.
We head now to Menglers Hill lookout for a view and a half! Check out the Valley, see where you’ve been and where you’re heading.
Our 3rd Cellar door is a real gem of the Barossa; the stunning Rosenvale Vineyards, owned and operated by the 6th generation Rosenzweig family. The passion is palpable as Rosenvale’s hosts invite you to indulge in a sensational wine tasting experience. Against the backdrop of the vineyard, this picture-perfect setting will certainly delight as you taste wines produced by the very vines that surround you. World Class is an understatement!
Finally, a scenic drive through Seppeltsfield will round off your perfect Barossa adventure, with time to grab a photo of the iconic Date Palms, learn about their fascinating origin, and the iconic Seppeltsfield legacy. Time now to sit back, listen to some quiet music and watch the scenery go by, or perhaps close your eyes for a quick nap, as we express back to Adelaide CBD for approximately 5:30pm and the finish of your perfect Barossa Adventure.
This tour blends historic wineries, wonderful regional food, breathtaking scenery and the people that make the Barossa Valley a truly World class region. This is a day you are bound to enjoy.

About Us
Taste the Barossa is a small family-owned company started by myself, Dallas Coull, and my wife, Nikki Coull. We met in 1997 while I was working in Greece and Nikki was on holiday from her home in Nottingham, England. We have three beautiful children, James (26), Georgia (23), and Tamsin (14). I have been involved in tourism in Australia for over 25 years, having previously founded Groovy Grape Getaways and am very proud to still see the Groovy buses travelling between Melbourne, Adelaide and Alice Springs today.
After spending six years in the UK with Nikki, we made the move to Australia in 2009 and started Taste the Barossa. I have a love for the Barossa Valley after spending a great deal of my youth there, with one of my first jobs being on a bottling line in a Barossa Valley Winery.
Over the last few years, we have assembled a fantastic little team that are as passionate about Adelaide and South Australia as I am. I know you will have one of the best Barossa Wine tours as you explore the stunning Adelaide wineries.

Well done to Ruby at Barossa Australia for making a real effort to blur the lines between the wine industry & the tourism industry. 30 years ago, Cellar Doors were very much run from a marketing & sales perspective. I would love to know the actual numbers however I’m guessing many more people visited Cellar Doors in the Barossa Valley in 1998 than today. Right now there are significantly more Cellar Doors and less people visiting our region. Today Cellar Doors are set up to be a profit making enterprise which I don’t think works for the long term viability of either the wine industry or the wine/tourism industry! From Taste the Barossa’s perspective we have been relentless in promoting the region over our company. We believe it’s easier to grow the pie rather than an individual piece! In a few months we will once again be in market in the USA shouting from the rooftops about how amazing the Barossa Valley is. Our 3000+ 5 star reviews are a testament to our positive impact on brand Barossa. From Taste the Barossa’s perspective there are some stand out Cellar Doors that seem to be doing the heavy lifting for the entire region, Kies Family Wines, Turkey Flat, Rosenvale, Langmeil, Rockford Wines, Tweedies Gully & Ballycroft to name just a few. These are some of the wineries that understand that “quality buses mean business”
Kies Family Wines, Turkey Flat Vineyards, Rosenvale Vineyards, Rockford Wines, Langmeil Winery, Tweedies Gully, Ballycroft Vineyard and Cellars Jesseca Kies,
Ballycroft Vineyard leading the way!! Joesph has been doing this for years!!! The serious upside is his wines are out of this world!!
So many stories, jokes and new friendships have started around this table at Turkey Flat Vineyards
That’s the beauty of a long lunch - plenty of time to chat with people from all over the world, swap travel tips, share a few laughs, and enjoy regional produce with a glass of Barossa wine.
