Our Private Tour Experience

Tour the Barossa Valley with your own private, fun, and knowledgeable guide. We love to craft a tour based on your particular tastes and interests and we can curate an entire day for you, take you to places you have been recommended, or a combination of the two.

We like to mix in small family-owned wineries, and some of the larger, more well-known locations to add variety and ensure you see all of the best the region has to offer. If you like gin, beer breweries, or even chocolate tastings, we have plenty of scope to mix in whatever you love most!

Inclusions: Private pick-up from your location, a curated and relaxed tour of the Barossa Valley (approx. 7–8 hours), and cellar door and lunch bookings.

Note: Due to the bespoke nature of our tours and in order to provide our service at the best rate possible, there will be some small wine tasting fees at certain venues. Lunch is extra, though we can provide many options, from pies to pizzas to pubs to fine dining.

Sample Barossa Valley Wine Tour Itinerary

This is an example of a day out with Little Ing Wine Tours in the Barossa Valley. Note that we will curate this to accommodate you and whatever you might like to see and taste. No two tours are ever the same. The stops below are an example of how the day can run, not a fixed list – we’ll confirm the cellar doors and lunch with you beforehand, subject to availability.

Barossa Valley Wine Tour Pricing

Our private, personalised Wine Tours in the Barossa Valley start at just $250 per person (minimum tour size of 2). Bringing a third? They ride free, so it’s still $500 for the three of you.

We’ll pick you up at your location, be that your home, a hotel or other accommodation, and drive you north through the Adelaide Plains into the Barossa. Let us know if you’d like to take the scenic route through the Adelaide Hills!

Rockford Wines

Our first stop is Rockford, on Krondorf Road, and it is a genuine Barossa institution. Robert O’Callaghan built it in 1984 around old equipment and old methods – basket presses, open fermenters, and machinery most wineries had long since scrapped.

The result is wine made the way the Barossa made it a century ago. The Basket Press Shiraz is the name everyone knows, and a good deal of what they make is only ever sold here at the cellar door.

Charles Melton Wines

A few hundred metres further along Krondorf Road is Charles Melton, another small family operation started in 1984. Charlie Melton was one of the winemakers who argued for the Barossa’s old Grenache vines at a time when they were being pulled out of the ground.

Nine Popes, his Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro blend, is the wine that made the name, and the Rose of Virginia has a following of its own. The cellar door is relaxed and unhurried, with a verandah looking out over the vines.

Lunch at Fino Seppeltsfield

Enjoy a long lunch at Fino, set within the historic Seppeltsfield estate. Fino built its reputation on simple, produce-driven cooking that leans hard on Barossa growers and producers. Set among the vines and old stone buildings, it is the perfect place to slow down in the middle of the day. Lunch is booked on request and subject to availability – if it’s full on the day, there are plenty of other good options nearby.

Langmeil Winery

Our final stop is Langmeil, home to The Freedom Vineyard – planted in 1843 and recognised as the oldest surviving Shiraz vines in the world. Tasting a wine made from vines that have been in continuous production for more than 180 years is a genuinely rare experience, and a fitting way to finish a day in the Barossa.

And its time for the return trip. We’ll have you safely back at your home location by approximately 5pm, with a dinner booking if you request one.

Why Choose the Barossa Valley for a Wine Tour?

The Barossa’s winemaking history began in 1842 with Silesian and English settlers, and that heritage is still visible everywhere – in the bluestone cellars, the Lutheran churches, the German bakeries and the family names above the cellar door. Crucially, the Barossa escaped the phylloxera outbreak that destroyed vineyards across Europe, which is why it holds some of the oldest continuously producing vines on the planet.

Today the region is best known for its powerful, structured Shiraz, along with Grenache, Mataro and Cabernet Sauvignon. Rising into the cooler Eden Valley alongside it, you will find some of Australia’s finest Riesling and elegant, long-lived Chardonnay.

There is a reason to visit in every season. Spring brings green shoots across the valley floor, Summer delivers warm days and long light over the vines, and Autumn is harvest – the busiest and most alive the region gets. Winter is our quiet favourite, with open fires in the cellar doors and mist sitting low across the vineyards.

The towns of Tanunda, Angaston and Nuriootpa each have their own character, and give the Barossa a sense of being a genuine working community rather than just a wine destination.
