Have a brief chat with your guide, John Baldwin, about the wines you love, the wineries you have to see, where you have already been, and then leave it to this passionate local to personally tailor your tour just for you. These rare 1962 Daimlers can seat up to 8 persons when required, but it is really special to be the only two in the vast back seat of these historic vehicles (used in royal tours of the sixties). Premium wine tastings, sumptuous restaurant lunches with wine, afternoon tea at Maggie Beers Farm Shop are all included, plus free collection and return to your Barossa accommodation. John seems to know everyone, and he loves to share his local knowledge and close friendships which he has formed with the winemakers, with all who tour with him. You can visit the large iconic wineries such as Penfolds,Jacobs Creek and Seppeltsfield or be introduced to the smaller boutique wines at Torbreck, Rockford, Charles Melton and Charles Cimicky, to name a few. A Barossa tour begins at 10am and finishes at 5pm. Adelaide pickups are available (at extra cost) and begin at 9am and finish at 5.30pm. A modern 7 seat Mercedes is also available for tours to the Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale and is used for the Adelaide accommodation or Airport pickups. « less

We booked the tour with Daimler Tours as we were after a more personalised experience. We didn't find that it was that much more expensive than the other tours on offer, and we knew we would be able to take the day at our own pace and not have to travel with 'the masses'. When the car drove up the... More

Dear Kelly, Thanks so much for your kind words. John had a great day out with yourself, KC, Dino and Duncan, and is pleased you all enjoyed it so much. Also glad you were happy with the cellar door visits and the gourmet treats you collected along the way. We are so spoilt here in The Barossa and with so... More

We expected the highlight to be the car, while the Daimler was majestic, comfy and decadent, the highlight was really John (owner and driver). John turned out to be the perfect guide, well liked and respected by the people at the cellar doors, interesting, amusing and extremely knowledgable. We had a magical day visiting wineries and tasting wines that we... More

Dear Ian, Thank you for your most generous comments. It was a pleasure for John to show you our little piece of paradise and he thoroughly enjoyed touring with you both. He always strives to introduce our guests to wine which suits their personal wine tastes, and it appears he achieved that, which is most satisfying. I also love that... More

John, who has been doing this for 16 years knows his way around Barossa, from small boutique craft wineries to the big boys like Penfolds. We had a spectaclor day to... More

Taking a tour with John (Barossa Daimler Tours) is the most relaxing way to get the best out of a day in the beautiful Barossa. I travelled with four girlfriends and we had a ball. John collected us absolutely on time, already with ideas of what we could see, but prepared to change his itinerary to suit us. He got... More

My husband and I have just returned home to the States (unfortunately!), and were reflecting on our wonderful 3 week holiday in Australia. The afternoon we spent touring the Barossa with John Baldwin of Barossa Daimler Tours is one of our best memories of the trip! We are in our mid-30s, and have just started touring wine regions in other... More
