If you’re a visitor to Adelaide, you’ll know it’s the wine capital of Australia. However, there’s a lot more to this city than great wine. Here are a few tours that’ll help you discover Adelaide.

Adelaide has many tours to offer. In fact, there’s something that’ll fit the interest of just about every tourist. You’ll be able to match any budget or schedule with one or more of these exciting tours. Plus, many of them offer a chilled glass of wine!

First time visitors will enjoy the free 99B and 99C buses, offering an interesting look at the city and the opportunity to get to know it better. You’ll see all the shopping and entertainment options available, and get to look at some of Adelaide’s impressive architecture.

If you have a strong sense of history, try the insightful Culture Heritage Guided Walk, which narrates the colorful history of Adelaide and the achievements of her founding father, William Light, and many other of the state’s notable explorers, politicians, benefactors and pioneers.

If you’d like to take a look at everyday life in Adelaide, consider a trip with Adelaide Private Tours. This tour provides tours of local villages, talks with area artists, and dinner with a family from Adelaide.

If you’d prefer to find out about two of Adelaide’s most famous attributes – churches and drinking places, consider the Pubs and Pulpits tour.

Nature lovers will enjoy Guided Bird Walks and the free guided walks in the Botanic Gardens. You’ll travel up and down the Torrens River, getting a chance to see all the fascinating plants and animals native to the area.

There’s other wildlife to see, too. Sign up with Premier Stateliner for the Victor Harbor and Cockle Train Tour to see Victor Harbor, Middleton, Port Elliot, Goolwa, and more. There’s whale watching and surfing, or you can take a Little Penguin Colony tour to the nearby Granite Island. There, you’ll see hundreds of Little Penguins walk on the beach as the sun goes below the horizon.

But if wine tasting is really your thing, there are dozens of organized and guided tours that will guide you merrily along Adelaide’s five world-famous wine regions – the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale and the Coonawarra – which are all known for producing multi-award-winning wines.

Dozens of tours offer visits to venues where you can taste great wines, as well as a few stops for food and grapes. Side trips are available to old German towns and Lutheran churches. If any of these visits spark your interest, you can sign up for them with Busway Travel Service, Adelaide Sightseeing, and Gray Line. One of the best tours available is A Taste of South Australia. This tour allows private, luxurious introductions to some of the state’s best food and wine.

If you’re searching for the perfect weekend, a good choice would be Coonawarra, where many of Adelaide’s classic red wines are produced. Coonawarra also hosts the Naracoorte Caves Conservation Park, an impressive venue that is listed on the World Heritage list.

The McLaren Vale Food and Wine tour will take you to the McLaren Vale, which offers 48 extraordinary wineries as well as the state’s most magnificent beaches, including Maslin Beach.
