Vines to Mountains🍷: From the Barossa to the Flinders Ranges

5 nights | Adelaide • Barossa Valley • Flinders Ranges • Clare Valley

Combine the flavours of South Australia’s famous wine country with the spectacular landscapes of the Flinders Ranges on this five-night self-drive adventure.

Days 1–2 — Barossa Valley

Fly into Adelaide, collect your 2WD hire car and head north for around an hour to the beautiful Barossa Valley.

Settle into a charming two-night cottage stay, with a welcome bottle of wine waiting for you. Explore the region’s renowned cellar doors by e-bike, before enjoying a guided wine-tasting experience the following day.

Then simply relax and soak up the peaceful surroundings of your cottage.

Days 3–5 — Rawnsley Park Station & the Flinders Ranges

Leave the vineyards behind and drive approximately 4½ hours through classic South Australian outback scenery to Rawnsley Park Station, your base for three nights in the spectacular Flinders Ranges.

Your adventure begins with a sunset 4WD experience, complete with gourmet canapés and sparkling wine.

The following day, choose how you want to discover this extraordinary landscape — perhaps a full-day Flinders Ranges tour, a scenic flight over the ancient ranges or an exhilarating heli-hiking experience.

On your final morning, enjoy a sunrise walk followed by a relaxed bush breakfast before beginning your journey back towards Adelaide.

Take the scenic route through the Clare Valley, stopping for a final wine tasting and lunch before completing your South Australian adventure.
