Regional Connections - Adelaide to Flinders Rangers

From Adelaide to Arkaba, you'll journey through two famous wine regions and the Southern Flinders Ranges.

Begin the day in the Barossa to meet the famous winemaker Phil Lehmann at his homestead and vineyard in Eden Valley. Visit Phil’s beautiful 25-acre vineyard and olive grove, and explore the sprawling property with him. Enjoy a private wine tasting at Phil’s house, where he will also share his passion for breadmaking, accompanied by a carefully selected array of local cheeses. Experience his exquisite wines and freshly baked bread in a intimate, private setting.

Late morning, stop at the picturesque Clare Valley, a historic wine region once the home of South Australia's wool industry. Drive through charming rural towns and learn about the region's rich history. Stop for lunch at the iconic Watervale Pub, meeting local owner Warrick Duthy. The pub is renowned for its awards, including 'Best Restaurant in a Pub or Club in Australia.' Enjoy a delicious meal and a tour of the beautifully refurbished pub.

In the afternoon, continue into the scenic Southern Flinders Ranges, stopping near Hawker to view a spectacular section of the Heysen Trail overlooking the Central Flinders Ranges before arriving at your accommodation.
