Just 40 minutes south of Adelaide lies one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions, and the McLaren Vale Hop-On Hop-Off Winery Tour is the most effortless way to experience every drop of it. Run by the team at TrailHopper, this full-day adventure puts you in control — hop off at the wineries that catch your eye, linger as long as you like over a glass of bold Shiraz, then simply catch the next bus when you’re ready to move on.
Departing from the Stamford Plaza Hotel in Adelaide’s CBD or from the McLaren Vale Visitor Information Centre for those already in the region, the TrailHopper service follows a looping circuit through 15+ of the area’s best cellar doors and venues. Each loop takes roughly an hour to complete, so whether you want to spend the afternoon at a single sun-drenched estate or tick off four or five stops in a day, the flexible timetable makes it easy to plan exactly the experience you’re after.
McLaren Vale North is renowned for its bold reds — Shiraz alone accounts for around 50% of the crush — alongside Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and newer varieties like Sangiovese and Barbera. Many of the cellar doors are perched along the Fleurieu coastline, offering sweeping views over rolling vineyards and the sea that make every stop as scenic as it is delicious.
Best of all, there’s no need to worry about a designated driver or navigating unfamiliar back roads. Leave the driving to the professionals and simply enjoy the acclaimed wines and food of McLaren Vale at your own pace. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just looking for a spectacular day out from Adelaide, this tour delivers an experience that’s as relaxed or as indulgent as you choose to make it.
