About this activity

Drive the Barossa Valley yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole region in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point — Tanunda is the classic start, but Angaston, Nuriootpa or Lyndoch work just as well — choose the cellar doors you want to visit, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. 91 narrated stories cover the valley's people and places: as you pass Peter Lehmann Wines in Tanunda you'll hear why Peter Lehmann walked away from a corporate job in 1979 rather than abandon the growers he had given his word to. No group, no schedule, no guide — stop as long as you like at any cellar door, replay anything, and because the tour downloads to your phone, the audio keeps working when the signal drops on the back roads. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are booked and paid directly with the wineries.
