The peaceful rural setting hides many treasures such as magnificent old churches, wineries and historic cottages.
After leaving the main city centre we head north, over the Torrens River and into the Torrens Gorge. Covering 400 square kilometers, this area prides itself on its unspoiled beauty and love of the great outdoors. You may be lucky enough to see kangaroos and emus grazing near the road before venturing to the Chain of Ponds, which features a breathtaking backdrop of giant reservoirs and towering pine trees. We make our way to Williamstown and admire the beautiful stone buildings before having morning tea from the historic Lyndock bakery.
We visit the Angas Park Fruit Co. at the charming stone brick town of Angaston, before admiring the panoramic views offered from Menglers Hill Lookout, which gives you fantastic photographic opportunities looking out onto the Barossa Valley.
Lunch will be at award winning Peter Lehman Wines and consist of a beautiful tasting plate of local meats and cheeses.
The afternoon will then be spent amongst the vineyards and wineries that make this area so popular and famous around the world. This afternoon will be created to suit your palate. Whether you prefer the red or white, dry or sweet, our guide will discuss with everyone what they prefer and visit wineries appropriate to your taste. This is the joy of a small personalized group.
The day will finish with a stop to view the most famous of all premium Australian wine, Grange. That ends your magical day with us and we will have you back in town early evening.
