Coonawarra Day Tour
The best of the region in one well-paced day — a few standout cellar doors woven with historic Penola and a natural highlight like the caves or Blue Lake.
A Coonawarra Day Tour
See the best of the region in a single, well-paced day. Our day tour goes beyond tasting alone, weaving a few standout cellar doors together with the heritage of historic Penola and one of the Limestone Coast’s natural highlights — the World Heritage caves or the Blue Lake. It’s the ideal choice for a first visit, or for a mixed group where not everyone is here purely for the wine. Family-run since 1974, and quoted to your plans.
What We Weave Together
A Few Cellar Doors
A relaxed taste of the strip — an icon and a family estate or two, chosen to your liking.
Historic Penola
The Mary MacKillop sites and the cottages of Petticoat Lane in the region’s historic heart.
Caves or Blue Lake
A World Heritage cave tour at Naracoorte, or the cobalt crater lake at Mount Gambier.
A Regional Meal
We can build in a long lunch or platters to pair with the day’s tastings.
Perfect For
- First-timers who want a rounded introduction to the whole region
- Mixed groups where not everyone wants to spend the day tasting
- Travellers short on time who want wine, heritage and nature in one go
- Families — the caves and Blue Lake are highlights for kids
- Anyone who’d rather be driven and guided than plan the logistics

Day Tour — FAQ
What is the difference between a wine tour and a day tour?
Our wine tour focuses on tasting across the cellar doors. A day tour is broader — it blends a few cellar doors with Penola’s heritage and a nearby highlight like the caves or Blue Lake, for a fuller taste of the region in one day.
What does a Coonawarra day tour include?
A guided full day with a driver, combining a selection of cellar doors, historic Penola and one nearby attraction, tailored to your interests. Lunch can be built in. We quote per enquiry — get in touch.
Is a day tour good for non-drinkers?
Yes — because it mixes wine with heritage and nature, a day tour suits mixed groups where not everyone wants to taste. See our beyond the wine guide.
Where does a day tour start?
Wherever suits — your Coonawarra or Penola accommodation, or we can discuss pick-ups from nearby Mount Gambier. Tell us where you’ll be and we’ll plan around it.
How much does a day tour cost?
Every day tour is tailored to your group, route and inclusions, so we quote per enquiry rather than publish a fixed price.
