Sip and Savour the Views
Our first stop at Mt Lofty offered spectacular views over Adelaide on a clear autumn day and was the perfect way to begin. Generous wine tastings at Shaw + Smith and Nepenthe were paired with delightful scenery and a relaxed atmosphere. Lunch at Grunthal included pizzas and beverages of our choice adding to the experience. Hahndorf our finale stop concluded with an extensive gin tasting that was very indulgent. Liz has curated an intimate and most enjoyable feast for the senses and comes highly recommended
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share this, I really appreciate it. I’m so glad you enjoyed the Adelaide Hills day, it’s designed to be a relaxed journey with a bit of everything, from the views at Mount Lofty Summit to the tastings at Shaw + Smith and Nepenthe Wines, plus a great lunch stop at Grunthal Brew and finishing in Hahndorf. It’s lovely to hear it came together as an enjoyable “feast for the senses” and thank you again for the recommendation. Hope to see you again on another tour soon.

Hills, Sips & Stories: The Adelaide Hills tour that gets it exactly right.
If you’re after a premium, small-group experience in the Adelaide Hills, this tour is a standout. Our day began with sweeping views from Mount Lofty Summit before heading to Shaw and Smith for a beautifully guided tasting of five single-vineyard wines. We continued to Nepenthe Wines for a contrasting selection of varietals, each stop thoughtfully chosen and expertly paced. Lunch at Grunthal Brew, home to Hesketh Wines and Udder Delights, handmade cheeses, was a highlight, with plenty of options, from wine to beer paddles and delicious pizzas and shared platters. We then enjoyed free time exploring the artisan charm of Hahndorf before finishing with a lively gin tasting at Heaps Good Spirits. Our guide, Liz, was exceptional, local, knowledgeable, and effortlessly organised, sharing insights you won’t find in guidebooks. Add in her curated Spotify playlist (a lovely personal touch), and you have a tour that feels relaxed, safe, and genuinely personalised. Highly recommended for travellers who appreciate good wine, good company, and a day that flows exactly as it should.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for such a thoughtful review! Love how you’ve captured the flow of the day, from the views at Mount Lofty Summit through to the tastings at Shaw and Smith and Nepenthe Wines, and it’s great to hear you enjoyed the variety across the Hills. Glad lunch at Grunthal Brew was a highlight as well. It’s such a good spot to relax. Finishing up at Heaps Good Spirits always adds a bit of fun to the end of the day. Really appreciate the kind words about the guiding and overall experience, and love that the playlist got a mention too. Thanks again for joining me, I’d love to have you back anytime 😊

A Premium Day Out
Wow. What a wonderful day out with Liz. Her commentary was informative and most interesting. A well planned itinerary and excellent organisation meant a day of fun filled wine and gin tasting, great food , and an overall fabulous experience. (The wine was top notch !) The small group meant easy conversations, loads of laughs and a general feeling of camaraderie . Thank You Liz, I hope to be able to take part in more of your tours at some stage. P.S. Great music playlist on the way back through the Hills. Gwen M.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much, Gwen! So glad you had a great day, that’s exactly the kind of experience we aim for. Good wine, a bit of gin, plenty of laughs and a relaxed group always makes it special. Love that the playlist got a mention too, very important part of the trip home through the Hills! Really appreciate you coming along, and I’d love to have you back on another tour sometime 😊

Amazing Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills tour was fantastic. We had panoramic views at Mount Lofty. Loved the cheeky wine server at Shaw and Smith plus the vineyard was stunning with Autumnal colours . Then to top it off the tasting at Heaps Good Gin was fun with great variety of flavours to try.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the great review! I agree the views up at Mount Lofty Summit are always a highlight, glad you enjoyed that stop. Sounds like Shaw and Smith brought a bit of fun to the day too! Finishing at Heaps Good Gin is such a great way to wrap things up. Plenty of flavours to try. Really appreciate you joining us, hope to see you again soon!

Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Adelaide.
How much does Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $536 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 Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Adelaide, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch?
+
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 Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch 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 Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour, Premium Barossa Small Group Tour: Wine tasting, Lunch & Chocolate, Barossa Valley Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour. 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 Private Adelaide Hills Wine, Gin and Brew Tour with Lunch?
+
