What to expect
You'll start among the vineyards themselves, learning how Château Tanunda's proximity to its own plantings shapes production decisions. Your guide walks you through the winery buildings, explaining oak maturation and other techniques while you taste wine straight from the barrel—a rare opportunity to buy directly into their allocation system. The experience concludes indoors in the recently refitted Cellar Door, where you compare older and younger vines side by side to understand how maturity affects flavour. Expect a leisurely pace; this is conversation-heavy, not rushed.
Good to know
Not suitable for children or pregnant travellers. Those with spinal issues or cardiovascular concerns should reconsider; the tour includes walking uneven terrain. Service animals welcome. Allow extra time if you intend to purchase wine beyond your complimentary bottle.
