Tour Itinerary
Taste the Barossa Premium Barossa Valley Wine Tour. Featuring World Class wineries you’ll feel like a VIP as you enjoy the kind of hospitality that only passionately family-owned wineries can offer. With our exquisite cellar door experiences Taste the Barossa captures the very essence of what makes the Barossa Valley one of the World’s greatest wine producing regions.
Leave Adelaide behind and travel through the scenic Adelaide Hills as we make our way into the Barossa Valley. With a maximum of 20 guests, the day is designed to feel personal from the outset, with time to enjoy each experience rather than rushing from one cellar door to the next.
Being a family business ourselves we love to support other outstanding family businesses. Kies Family Wines is exactly that. With a warm welcome and a tag line of ‘The Taste of Happiness’ Kies family wines will make you feel super special. We are incredibly lucky to enjoy our first tasting experience in their amazing wine making facility, surrounded by huge wine vats affectionately named after their family members. An exclusive and unique experience tasting award winning wines.
From Kies, we continue to Chateau Tanunda, one of the Barossa’s great historic landmarks. Established in 1890, its impressive bluestone winery has been at the heart of Barossa winemaking for more than 135 years. Enjoy a self-guided experience through the estate followed by a structured tasting, bringing together the history, architecture and wines of this remarkable property.
By lunchtime, it’s time to slow things down. We head to Melba’s in Angaston for a relaxed regional platter lunch showcasing local produce, accompanied by your choice of a glass of Yalumba wine or soft drink. There’s plenty of time to enjoy the food, conversation and surroundings.
After lunch, enjoy an exclusive private port and chocolate tasting, bringing together Yalumba fortified wine and locally made Melba’s chocolate. It’s a special addition to the day and a chance to enjoy two well-known South Australian names in a completely different way.
From Angaston, we continue through the Barossa to Rosenvale Vineyards for our final structured tasting of the day. Rosenvale is a three-generation family vineyard and winery, with a strong focus on estate-grown fruit and wines that reflect the individual character of their vineyards. Settle in for a tasting of their Barossa wines and hear more about the family, the vineyards and the hands-on approach behind each bottle. It’s a personal and fitting way to finish the wine experiences of the day.
Our journey through the Barossa finishes along iconic Seppeltsfield Road, one of the region’s most recognisable drives. Sit back and take in the palm-lined scenery while your knowledgeable local guide shares the story behind the road, its historic estates and the people who helped shape this part of the Barossa before we begin the journey back to Adelaide.
Taste the Barossa is designed for guests looking for a more personal wine experience, with private and structured tastings, a local and knowledgeable tour guide, regional food, local produce and a small-group atmosphere all included in one carefully planned day.

About Us
Taste the Barossa is a small family-owned company started by myself, Dallas Coull, and my wife, Nikki Coull. We met in 1997 while I was working in Greece and Nikki was on holiday from her home in Nottingham, England. We have three beautiful children, James (28), Georgia (25), and Tamsin (16). I have been involved in tourism in Australia for over 25 years, having previously founded Groovy Grape Getaways and am very proud to still see the Groovy buses travelling between Melbourne, Adelaide and Alice Springs today.
After spending six years in the UK with Nikki, we made the move to Australia in 2009 and started Taste the Barossa. I have a love for the Barossa Valley after spending a great deal of my youth there, with one of my first jobs being on a bottling line in a Barossa Valley Winery.
Over the last few years, we have assembled a fantastic little team that are as passionate about Adelaide and South Australia as I am. I know you will have one of the best Barossa Wine tours as you explore the stunning Adelaide wineries.

Over the past 16 years our Taste the Barossa Premium tour that operates 7 days a week has continued to evolve. Over the last few weeks we have made some changes and today it’s fair to say that we have peaked as a Barossa Day tour.
After literally years of John Geber and myself talking about us visiting Chateau Tanunda the timings have finally worked. We couldn’t be more excited.
Lunch is now an incredible regional plate of the Barossa’s best produce served with a choice of Yalumba wine, local beer or soft drink at Melba’s Chocolate in Angaston.
The last of the new additions to our tour is an incredible Melba’s Chocolate and Yalumba fortified pairing straight after lunch.
The day is still bookended with incredible private tastings at Kies Family Wines and Rosenvale Vineyards.
The thing that I’m really excited about is every business that is part of our tour are all passionately family owned and operated.

Wonderful to see Jesseca and her family get the recognition and accolades they deserve. In an industry where sometimes you feel like you need to apologize when you want to bring people to their Cellar Door and big corporations are shutting down their Cellar Doors. It’s the smaller family wineries like Kies Family Wines, Rosenvale Vineyards, Turkey Flat Vineyards, Haselgrove Wines, Kay Brothers Winery & Château Tanunda
among others that are putting their passion before a quarterly spreadsheet.
