Welcome to the Coonawarra Discovery Half Day Tour. This 4.5 hour tour allows you great flexibility while ensuring you still get the best Coonawarra cellar door experience. There are multiple options for every stop and our experienced guides can steer you in the right direction when local events make certain
places even more essential.
We will show you the highlights of the Coonawarra wine region in an afternoon filled with sensory adventures. Your guides have
grown up in the area and have developed personal relationships with the people behind the counters.
Guests don’t get to Coonawarra as often as other wine regions due to it’s isolation so don't miss the opportunity to experience what it has to offer by having to worry about driving. If you are not sure about wine styles or brands, go with our default selection which is finely tuned to succeed for most palates and knowledge
levels.

An example of your half day tour:

At 20 minutes past midday we arrive at your accommodation in Penola or Coonawarra. (Mt Gambier, Millicent, Robe, Beachport or Naracoorte pickups and drop offs available by arrangement). You climb in to the nice new Hyundai iMax and its off to our first winery – the impressive Parker Estate.
Enjoy the architecture and the spaces, the cheese and nibbles and most importantly, the wine. See an 18 litre melchior and admire the current art collection – it is always changing. You can get a platter here and eat it at their long table, but you will need to pre-arrange it with us.
At 1.15pm your guide returns to deliver you to the Yalumba Menzies Wine Room for a private tasting and chat with James Freckleton, Yalumba’s Coonawarra
Viticulturist. Here you will see the top-rate presentations on many aspects of Coonawarra while trying some of Yaluma’s finest wines with Coonawarra heritage.
After you are satiated at Yalumba Menzies, your guide takes you to Highbank, a boutique winery on only 4 hectares of vines but with some beautiful views and
supurb hand-built buildings that are available for bookings should you require.
After a comfortable chat with Denis Vice of Highbank, you are delivered at 2.45pm to Brand’s Laira, where in addition to experimenting with great wine you get to explore Eric Brand’s old private cellar – kept as a museum to the Brand’s founder. You can order a platter here if you are hungry – but again it must be pre-arranged.
After Brand’s its time to try a chocolate and wine pairing at Penley Estate, one of our favourites.
Now it is time for our final stop – the tranquil Balnaves besides the lake. (If you chose Blok Estate instead, you may get scones…)
It is now 5.00pm and you are ready to return to your cottage (also arranged by us for you). All you have left to do today is write us a five-star review and get
ready for diinner in one of Penola’s great restaurants – or even a trip to Millicent to try the famous Mayura Station Wagyu. We can arrange transport wherever
you wish to go and you will always be safely delivered!
