Victor Harbor, Goolwa & Mouth of the Murray - Small Group Tour
Duration:
Operated By:
It’s an early morning start today as we head down to Glenelg, driving through the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula, passing Adelaide’s magnificent southern beaches and the southern Lofty mountain range, appears as a wave for the back drop – on our sojourn to revel in the splendour that is – Victor Harbor.
Choose to explore the Victor Harbor shoreline, shopping and galleries or take a relaxed ride on the historic Horse Drawn Tram across The Causeway to Granite Island. The Tramway commenced operation in 1894 and is one of two remaining in the world that operate a daily service.
Later, a mouth-watering restaurant lunch is waiting for us back at ‘Victor’.
After lunch, we head to The Goolwa Wharf precinct where you can sample local distillery for Single Malt Whisky or Gin (own expense) or visit a cellar door for those keen on wine tasting.
Following this foray, we drive out to Hindmarsh Island and the Mouth of the Murray, where the Murray river (the longest river in Australia at 2,508 kilometres) meets the Southern Ocean.
After such an expedition, a refreshing afternoon tea/coffee is in the making for us in McLaren Vale, before our day ends back at your accommodation in Adelaide.
Please Note: For the safety of the horses the Horse Drawn Tram will NOT operate in extreme heat or windy conditions.

The bus was comfortable and being a small group, it was a very personalised tour.
Highly recommend Adelaide’s Top Food & Wine Tours!
We visiting 2 wineries before our charcuterie lunch at a 3rd, then one more winery to finish the day. We also managed to squeeze in a short visit to the 'cube' and a winery known for their olive oil. One of our guests was very keen to buy some local olive oil. We all enjoyed the day and were good chums by the end. Bruce was full of local info as well as sharing his sense of humour.
The wineries were all good and the first one especially so. Each winery offered good information about their wines and we enjoyed all the samples! The charcuterie board was splendid and enough food for all. We had 3 boards for 6 people! It was a great visit to McLaren Vale!
Danny was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable. He drove safely and gave a great commentary. I asked if we were going to go past the cube and he accommodated our requests and stopped there for great photo opportunities.
The wineries we visited were excellent. Maxwell's, Haselgrove, Hugo's and Wirra Wirra.
Adelaide's top food and wine tours is highly recommended and we plan to come back to Adelaide and do another tour at different wineries.
It was a wonderful day with lots of great wineries, food and most importantly, an expert guide.
Would thoroughly recommend!
A shortage of staff at one of the wineries unfortunately resulted in slow service and a reduction in wines offered.
He is so informative & told us just about everything that there is to know about the locations we visited & the sights that we saw.
The beautiful lunch was an added bonus by fast tracking the queues & the wine tasting was awesome aswell.
All in all, a great day out in the region, would definitely do it again & recommend to others.
Just opened & sampled the jam today, it was beautiful.
Thanks Danny, see you again next time we are in your neck of the woods.

The wineries were well selected and the lunch very delicious.
We did the tour in a group of 6 and I highly recommend taking small groups tour to have the opportunity to meet people and chat. Also, the pace is much more chill.
The meal included was lovely!
I highly recommend this tour!
NB: you should have breakfast before doing the tour because not every winery will serve you something to eat with the tasting.
Tasted wines from small, family run wineries which were handpicked to our taste.
Barossa Valley is very pretty with some stunning views. It feels a little of the beaten track and yet is only an hour away from Adelaide.
We had a very knowledgeable driver and learned a lot about Adelaide and the Barossa.
Absolutely loved it.
Our guide, Vince, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
A good time was had,
The 4 wineries we visited were all lovely. I did in particular like the last winery we visited as we could pick any 4 wines of our choice which was a lovely change.
I would like the winery company to consider people with not the same mobility as other guests and park where it is more accessible instead of having to climb a lot of stairs. And maybe another step to get into and out of the bus.
I did enjoy the tour but found not nearly enough time in Hahndorf. We only had 1 hour to explore Hahndorf which was not enough time and felt very rushed. The reason we picked this tour was mainly to see Hahndorf.
I would have preferred to have the extra time at Hahndorf instead of visiting the last winery which was only for 30 minutes.
I have some mobility issues and found getting on and off the bus okay, but having an extra step would have been a lot better.
Can highly recommend this tour
