TOURS

We can advise on self-drive itineraries and guided tours in our luxury 4WD (up to 6 passengers), selected from the Activities section below. We can arrange a half day or full day of touring, travelling either to the North or to the South, depending on your preferences.

Our guided tours include lunch and allow for an informative venture without the concern of mixing wine with driving. One popular feature is a private session with a Clare Valley winemaker to taste the wines, learn some of the finer points about varietals, and take a look at the vineyard and winemaking facilities.

"As a special treat Marianne will prepare a moveable feast to be enjoyed alfresco on a hill overlooking the property – the ultimate Outback culinary experience.

"For those who would like a deeper appreciation of the local wine scene, the property offers guided tours to the Clare Valley, or (will) make the necessary arrangements for guests who would prefer to drive themselves – including lunch bookings, a suggested itinerary and introductions to prominent Clare Valley winemakers."
