Enjoy a free day to check out Adelaide city at your leisure. Jump on the tram and head to the picturesque seaside suburb of Glenelg. Explore the many shops on Jetty Road, or enjoy lunch at one of the popular restaurants at the Marina.

Alternatively, you may like to spend the morning relaxing at your hotel, with a late breakfast. If you feel like a spot of shopping, the hustle and bustle of Rundle Mall is only a short walk away. Or take an Adelaide Sightseeing Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf tour (departs Tuesdays and Fridays only), and enjoy an afternoon discovering the quaint and charming Adelaide Hills, including Australia’s oldest German settlement, Hahndorf.

Today you'll head south to McLaren Vale to explore one of Australia’s oldest and most acclaimed wine regions. A highlight of today will be your visit to the unique d’Arenberg Cube. Nestled amongst the vineyards, this 5 level 'Rubik's cube' has been carefully designed to entice and excite the senses.

Today, travelling in a small group you will enjoy a food and wine journey to South Australia’s premium wine region, the Barossa. Your first stop is Pindarie, a multi-tourism award-winning cellar door, which feels more like an Australian Homestead than a winery. Learn the stories behind the wines as you sample their blends while admiring the stunning vineyard views and enjoying some morning tea.

Next stop is Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop^, an absolute must whilst visiting the Barossa. Hear about Maggie Beer’s success as a cook, writer and founder of ‘Maggie Beer Products’, and with her full product range including limited edition seasonal produce for sale, this makes for a delicious souvenir stop.
