Brilliant day in Adelaide, the Hills and wine country
Excellent day tour with highlights of Adelaide city, a leisurely stop in Hahndorf and two excellent Maclaren Vale wine tastings in the afternoon. Tom was an excellent guide - super friendly and knowledgable.

Brilliant days tour by Baden
What a brilliant days tour of Adelaide, The Hills & McLaren Vale hosted by Baden. He was so informative of all things Adelaide & very passionate. The tour started with a drive around town then up to beautiful Handhorf for a couple of hours stop off. Onto McLaren Vale & 2 wineries with the option of a cheese/meat platter at the second. Could’ve probably done without the Cube stop off. We got dropped off at Glenelg on the way back into Adelaide

Highly recommend - lovely, relaxing afternoon
We had a lovely, relaxing afternoon on this tour. A nice balance of sightseeing (driving to and through the hills and down the coast) and two leisurely stops at well selected vineyards. Tom was a great guide for the day. Would highly recommend this tour.

Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Adelaide.
How much does Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Adelaide usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Adelaide is not rushed.
Is Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 566 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Adelaide, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 198 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Adelaide can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Adelaide and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Adelaide within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Adelaide?
+
On Outty we rank every Adelaide experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Barossa Small Group Tour: Wine tasting, Lunch & Chocolate, Barossa Valley Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour, Discover Barossa: 4 Wine Tastings, Gourmet Lunch, and Hidden Gems. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Adelaide?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Adelaide?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour?
+
