 Tour the Barossa with Wayne – our resident grapegrower/vigneron and winemaker.  Yes, on the management team of Vin’s Bus and Coach Group (includes Adelaide Minibus), Wayne also has a family vineyard at Greenock and knows the Barossa and like no other.  He often takes tours in the 7 seater Kia wagon or a super comfy 12 seat Toyota Hiace on weekends. His guests are often treated with visits to some lesser know wineries and private tastings, they get to see some of the oldest vines in the world, learn about grapevines and the viticultural practices required to produce grapes for the best wines, and includes a visit to his own vineyard – which features a unique block of Grenache, grown spirally in a corkscrew shape -the way of the ancient Romans. You also get to enjoy a barrel tasting of his wines, mostly only made for family and friends. You can select from our list above some of the cellar doors of your choice, but let his experience and know-how shine through by going with his suggested itinerary. Lunch is always gourmet quality at his selected venues, but also with speedy service, so that as much of the day as possible is spent tasting the wonderful wines of the Barossa, and taking in the views and atmosphere of the most famous wine region of Australia. Chilled water and a cheese platter on board add the final touch to your day with Wayne. This is ‘wow factor’ wine touring at its best, over a full 8 to 9 hours from Adelaide via the new Northern Expressway, returning via the beautiful Barossa Valley Way and Gawler…..plan to be back in city by about  6pm. Pickups can also be made at Barossa resorts and B&Bs. Wayne is a busy man, so you need to book well in advance, and he prefers Sundays. Ideal for groups of international tourists, wine and wine region enthusiasts, and those seeking something special. Enquire via this website.  Full days only starting at 9am ex Adelaide $495 for 7 seater and $550 for a 12 seater. For Barossa resort/accomm pickups then day starts at 10am and gets you back by 6pm….$480 for the 7 seater or $520 for the 12 seater.
