Worldly tourists and regular visitors to Adelaide will recognize it easily as the wine capital of Australia. But there is so much more in Adelaide than just fine wine, as this list of recommended tours will show.
Lots of tours are available in Adelaide - there's one for almost every tourist, no matter what their budget or schedule might be. Diverse, exciting options are available, and many of them offer a chilled complimentary glass of wine.
First time visitors to Adelaide who'd like to get to know the city can hop on the 99B and 99C buses. Take a free ride around the city and get a good look at the architecture, shopping, and entertainment options that Adelaide has to offer.
For those who love history, the Culture Heritage Guided Walk could be a good choice. You'll hear about Adelaide's history and founding father, William Light, as well as many of the other people who made the state what it is today.
If you'd like to take a look at everyday life in Adelaide, consider a trip with Adelaide Private Tours. This tour provides tours of local villages, talks with area artists, and dinner with a family from Adelaide.
If you'd prefer to find out about two of Adelaide's most famous attributes - churches and drinking places, consider the Pubs and Pulpits tour.
For nature lovers, there are the Guided Bird Walks and the Botanic Gardens Free Guided Walks that bring you up and down the dignified Torrens River and in close proximity to Adelaide's beautiful flora and fauna.
If you love whale watching or surfing, think about signing up with Premier Stateliner. The Victor Harbor and Cockle Train Tour will take you to Port Elliot, Victor Harbor, Goolwa and Middleton. Or, choose to take the Little Penguin Colony tour. This tour takes you to Granite Island nearby, where hundreds of tiny penguins live. You'll get to see them take their daily trip down the beach just before the sun sets.
Of course, there are plenty of guided and organized tours available for wine lovers, too. You'll be guided through the five famous wine regions of Adelaide - Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley, the Coonawarra and McLaren Vale. All of these areas are known for their award winning wines.
There are dozens of tours available that offer visits to wine tasting venues and a few food and grape stops, with novel side trips to impressive Lutheran Churches and old German towns. Among these are Adelaide Sightseeing, Gray Line and Busway Travel Service. Perhaps the best available tour is "A Taste of South Australia" which provides luxurious and private introductions to the best wine and food available throughout the state.
Coonawarra makes a great weekend trip. It's where some of the classic red wines that Adelaide is known for are produced. It's also the site of the Naracoorte Caves Conservation Park, a World Heritage list venue.
Or, enjoy the McLaren Vale Food and Wine tour, offering a trip to the site of forty-eight fantastic wineries and some of the most magnificent beaches in the state.
