OVERNIGHT: 3 nights Great Southern
After your first night on the train, wake up to a sumptuous breakfast that will set you up for a day of exploring.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast on board and a relaxing start to the day travelling through Victoria’s high country, you’ll have a choice of Off Train Experiences. Discover regional Victoria or visit cosmopolitan Melbourne.

OVERNIGHT: 4 nights The Playford Hotel
Catch the complimentary city tram to Victoria Square and head to the Adelaide Central Markets to join your Discovery tour. Taste a delicious selection of foods from South Australian artisan food producers as you meet the suppliers, stallholders and producers whose families have traded at the market for generations. This small group tour is hosted by local guides and is great fun for those with a passion for good food and learning the stories of the people who grow and supply it to our tables. After your tour, settle in for a delicious Market cafe lunch and watch the world go by, or if you are too full after the tour tastings, we can arrange a gourmet Italian panini picnic lunch to take away – your choice. (B,L)
Explore more of Adelaide at your leisure. If you’d like to get to the source of that gourmet experience by visiting another wine growing region, McLaren Vale is the perfect option. (B)
McLaren Vale Winery Experience – $220 per person
A tour to McLaren Vale along the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula includes four cellar door experiences and a delicious restaurant lunch. The region is best known for its Shiraz, but expert vignerons will explain why Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes also thrive in this unique microclimate.
Today your boutique wine and food touring continues with a visit to the historic Northern Barossa, with its 80 cellar doors. You’ll even visit one of the oldest vineyards in the world, where Shiraz vines were planted in 1843. Enjoy running commentary from your driver as you make your way towards the fabulous Barossa Valley Region. You will be guided though some of the best wines South Australia has to offer. Tours are small groups up to 8 people only to ensure a relaxed and unhurried day. Whether you prefer red or white, there will be something to tantalise and delight with tastings at 3 wineries throughout the day, and a delicious lunch with an accompanying glass of wine included in your tour.

After breakfast, check out of your accommodation, bringing your epicurean adventure to an end. (B)
