Your small tour group will commence at 9am and depart Penola for the Naracoote Caves and your Victoria Fossil Cave tour. You will then head to Coonawarra to enjoy your stunning chef-prepared luncheon at Ottelia.
After a lovely luncheon, we'll outline some of the Coonawarra history at a number of historic locations. These also provide some memorable photo opportunities so have your camera at the ready. Wynns Coonawarra Estate is the home of the first winery in the region and was built in 1896. You'll be surrounded by Coonawarra wine history as you sip on the finest wines ever made in the region.
We'll then wake up your palette with a flight of delicious gins from our friends at Parker Coonawarra Estate. Each gin is unique and refreshing and we'll also provide a few snacks to pair with the tasting.
We then have the most wonderful experience to round out the day with a visit to a private kangaroo sanctuary. You'll get up close and personal with some of our sweet native mates and even get the chance to feed them some healthy treats!
The exact locations may vary depending on the day, but we always use our extensive local knowledge and connections to create a memorable experience for you.
