Tour Overview

A private day for 2 to 4 guests, hosted by Simon or Kerry, bringing together
what we love most about the Limestone Coast: ancient caves, Coonawarra wine,
local produce and kangaroos.

We start at the UNESCO World Heritage Naracoorte Caves, head to Coonawarra for

Sample Itinerary

Naracoorte Caves

We drive from Penola to the Naracoorte Caves and head underground into
Victoria Fossil Cave, one of the world's most significant Ice Age fossil
sites. Your guide explains the extinct megafauna found here, including giant
marsupials and the marsupial lion, among chambers of stalactites and
stalagmites.

Lunch at Ottelia or Parker Coonawarra Estate

A seasonal lunch built on local produce, with a tasting of the estate's wines.

Coonawarra Railway Siding

A short stop at the siding that carried Coonawarra's grapes and barrels to
markets beyond the Limestone Coast from the late 1800s. It's a good spot for a
photo too.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate

A glass of Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon at the historic Gables, then a
private tour down into the original underground cellar for a tasting of the
Icon Series, including John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon and Michael Shiraz.

Confido Coonawarra

A relaxed, guided tasting of extra virgin olive oils at this boutique grove,
learning how the season and the grower's craft shape flavour.

Private kangaroo sanctuary, near Penola

We finish on private property with the carers who look after orphaned
kangaroos that can't return to the wild. You'll hear their stories and, when
conditions allow, join a supervised feed. The sanctuary isn't open to the
public, so this visit is subject to availability and may be substituted if
needed.

The order of stops may change on the day to suit opening times and conditions.
