Barossa Valley Wine Tour - Full Day

Barossa Daimler Tours are sorry to advise that due to a sudden health crisis, John and Libby are having to cease trading for the foreseeable future.  Hence, we are currently not taking any bookings for tours.

The best wine tour experiences happen when you spend time with a local!

Sit back, relax and take a luxurious private wine tour in an 8-seat, air-conditioned 1962 Daimler from a bygone era.  Our Daimlers are rare, with only 6 in Australia, are part of Australian history, and were all used for royal tours in the sixties. 

Your personal wine guide, John Baldwin, is a passionate wine lover and has been touring The Barossa for 25 years. His personal introductions are priceless!  He will introduce you to all the locals, including winemakers, and can customise your tour to be the best day possible.  Wine is a very personal experience and so no two tours are ever the same.  The Barossa is packed with famous wine labels - more than any other wine region in Australia - so let us introduce you to our backyard. 

Tour with John and taste the wines, see the grand architecture, learn of the history and culture, and hear the stories that only a local would know. You can visit the icons such as Penfolds, Yalumba and Seppeltsfield or concentrate on the smaller boutique gems and upcoming new labels.  As you are touring privately, anything is possible including cheese and olive oil tastings, town walks and farmers markets - whatever makes for the best day for you!  Boutique beer and Gin tastings can also be included (at an added cost).
