Through Wine Country to Naracoorte
Emus and koalas... these are just a couple of the animals you'll likely see as you drive through Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve - housed in a dormant volcanic crater. This pocket of paradise was once wasteland, transformed by volunteers. Then, cross the South Australia border to Mt. Gambier, home to the crater-filling Blue Lake. Your next stop is the celebrated wine-making region of Coonawarra, where you'll join a Local Specialist for a tasting at a local winery. Indulge in the full-bodied, fruity flavours in the region's signature Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced on its 'terra rossa' soil and learn how the region played a leading role in Australia's wine industry since the 1890s. Continue your journey to the Naracoorte Caves, a World Heritage site, where you'll be taken on a guided tour with a Local Specialist through Alexandra Cave, its crown jewel which was discovered in 1908.

Nature's playground, Kangaroo Island
Ease into the laidback lifestyle encouraged by the locals of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula and visit Victor Harbor at lunchtime. Delve into the town's reputation for being heaven for foodies as you enjoy lunch on your own at one of its favourite restaurants. This afternoon, board your ferry at Cape Jervis and cross to Kangaroo Island, where pristine beaches and abundant wildlife wait to be discovered. It deserves its moniker, as you'll discover tomorrow, but for the rest of the day, all you need to do is relax at your hotel in Kingscote, or perhaps take a stroll along the picturesque waters edge.

The Bountiful Barossa
The rolling Adelaide Hills, Hahndorf, and Australia's premier Shiraz producing region, the Barossa, lay ahead of you today. Your first stop is Mt. Lofty for sweeping views of Adelaide before stopping to stretch your legs in the quaint village of Hahndorf settled by 19th-century Lutheran migrants and known for its original German-style architecture and stone cottages. Continue to the Barossa to discover the local flavours over lunch at Lambert Estate, nestled in the rolling hills enveloped by vines, followed by a wine or gin tasting at Maggie Beer's Pheasant Farm. You'll end the trip on a high note returning to the city for a Farewell Dinner at Koomo, Adelaide's highest restaurant, where you'll toast your adventures enjoying city views and feasting on Japanese-and-Asian-influenced dishes.
