What a private Barossa Valley tour is
A private tour sells you the vehicle and the guide, not a seat. Nobody else joins, so the day
bends to you. You can stay longer at a cellar door you like, or skip a stop when you have tasted
enough.
The private days here do different jobs. The day from Adelaide collects you in the city and
spends a full day in the valley. The day for four runs six hours from your Barossa accommodation.
The trike and the 1966 Mustang convertible are rides for two. Per-person fares run from
$187 to $652, and the day for four is $536 for the group.
Why choose a private tour
Pickup where you are staying
The private day from Adelaide collects you from your city accommodation. The day for four picks
you up in the Barossa at 10:00. The trike collects you from selected Barossa hotels, and the Mustang
from anywhere in the valley.
Your pace at every cellar door
On a shared day the group decides when to leave. On a private day you do, within the hours you
booked. If a winemaker is pouring something you love, you can stay.
One price for four can beat four seats
The day for four is priced per group. If your party fills it, each of you pays a quarter of
$536, and the tasting fees and lunch are already in that price.
A day nobody else can book
The trike and the Mustang are the open-air rides here, with a guide driving. Each takes two
passengers, for three and a half hours.
Private tours vs a small-group day
The honest comparison is money against control. Here is what the extra buys you.
| Private tour | Small-group day |
|---|
| Who travels with you | Your party only | Six to eight guests, or up to 20 on a coach |
| Where it starts | Your hotel in Adelaide or the Barossa | A city pickup, or your Barossa accommodation |
| Pace | Yours | The group's |
| Full days from Adelaide | $652 a person | $189 to $275 a person, six to eight guests |
| Days inside the valley | $536 for up to four | $177 a person, six guests at most |
| Tasting fees | In the fare, except the trike and Mustang (not listed) | In the fare on these days |
| Cancellation | Full refund up to 24 hours ahead | Full refund up to 24 hours ahead |
Check availability from $652
For two people who are happy to share, a small group is usually the better buy. The six-guest
day from Adelaide costs much less than the private one and still pays every tasting fee. For a
party of four staying in the valley, the private day for four starts to earn its price. The
Barossa Valley day tours from Adelaide show the shared days
side by side.
What you get, and what you don't
- Tasting fees: paid on the private day from Adelaide and the day for four. The
trike and Mustang listings do not mention tastings, so ask before you book.
- Lunch: a multi-course lunch with wine at FINO at Seppeltsfield on the Adelaide
day, and lunch on the day for four. The trike and Mustang rides leave lunch out.
- Pickup: your Adelaide accommodation, your Barossa accommodation, selected
Barossa hotels or the Provenance car park in Nuriootpa. The Mustang does not collect in
Adelaide.
- Extra drinks: on the day for four, drinks beyond the scheduled tastings are
yours to pay, and so are gratuities.
- Wheelchairs: none of the private tours is sold as wheelchair accessible.
Or a private day for four, inside the valley
Pickup from your Barossa accommodation at 10:00, Chateau Tanunda, Gibson and Calabria, lunch and the tasting fees, for one group price.

Planning a private tour
- Check the price basis. The day for four is priced per group. The other private
tours are per person, with a booking of two at least, so check your total at checkout.
- Say what you like to drink. A private guide can shape the day around it, so
tell the operator when you book.
- Mind the ages. The Adelaide day is for adults 18 and over, and the Mustang
takes passengers from 8.
- On the trike, the two passengers together must weigh 250 kg or less.
- Book early for autumn. Tourism Australia names March to May as the high
season, and a private day holds one party only.
- Cancellation: every private tour here refunds in full up to 24 hours
ahead.
Who should choose something else
- If you are one or two on a budget. The
hop-on hop-off wine tour costs
$72, and shared days with the tastings paid start at $113 a person.
- If you want a full day of tastings on two wheels. The e-bike tour from
Angaston runs six and a half hours with lunch and wine, in a group of up to ten.
- If you want to meet other travellers. A small-group day of six or eight is
more sociable, and the best Barossa Valley wine
tours guide weighs them up.
- If you only need a lift. A private tour pays for a guide. To reach the valley
on your own, getting to the Barossa Valley has the train, bus and
taxi options.
