Intimate tour for 2 to 6 friends
What a great way to spend a day with close friends, partaking in Adelaide's top food & wine tours. While we still recommend booking ahead at your favorite places, a small group cellar door wine tour is the ultimate in flexibility and spontaneity. Between you and your driver you can explore to your heart's content, stay a little longer or increase the pace. Many establishments offer gratis tastings for couples and small groups, while some wineries and most breweries and distilleries charge.
It's all about YOU!
Literally each tour is built from scratch. The ideas below are just suggestions, examples of what is working right now for different sized groups - and is always changing. Mix wine, gin, beer, ciders - it's all about you. Email us, send a FB Message or call Partybus Steve on 0488 235 444 to discuss your friends' outing.
