SeaLink Travel Group has launched an exciting new “Barossa Wine and Heritage Tour” in Adelaide's famous wine region. The tour will be available to guests holidaying aboard the Murray Princess and is complimentary for all passengers on the seven-night Murraylands and Wildlife cruise and will be offered as an optional extra on the three-night Discovery and four-night Outback Heritage cruises.

The Barossa Wine and Heritage Tour features commentary by a SeaLink expert driver and explores the famous Barossa, Australia's richest and best-known wine making region.

Departing from Mannum, the tour stops at Jacob's Creek Visitor Centre for morning tea and wine tasting, before visiting Maggie Beer's Farm Shop. Here, learn about Maggie and her story, as well as the history behind the Farm.  Enjoy a short cooking demonstration and taste a range of her produce, including new products that are in development.

Lunch is a two-course gourmet feast at Lambert Estate. Take in the magnificent views from the deck of the vineyard while feasting on a shared platter incorporating fresh seasonal regional produce. 

The tours final stop is the stunningly beautiful Chateau Barossa, which houses one of Australia's most significant collections of 19th Century porcelain.   Explore the gallery or rose garden or engage in some more wine tasting before heading back to Mannum through the scenic towns of Williamstown and Mt Pleasant.

On arrival at Mannum, seven-night cruise guests will reboard the Murray Princess and three or four-night cruise guests will transfer to a luxury coach for their journey back to Adelaide.

The Barossa Wine and Heritage Tour is complimentary for seven-night Murraylands and Wildlife cruise guests and is part of the cruise itinerary.

The optional Barossa Wine and Heritage Tour is $161 per person when added to the three-night Discovery cruise or four-night Outback Heritage cruise. The tour departs Mannum, post cruise, every Monday and Friday at 9.30am and returns to Adelaide at 5.30pm.
