You’ll drive from the coast inland to survey the famous rolling Barossa landscape by panoramic coach. Stop to enjoy the mesmerizing valley-wide views from Mengler Hill Lookout. There, are over 150 wineries in the region. You'll not only taste their sumptuous wine but acquire knowledge about local history, grape varieties grown here and the fine art of wine comparing.

At another point during this relaxed afternoon, you'll have an encounter with the unique natural acoustics of the curving Whispering Wall that retains Barossa Reservoir; An engineering feat completed in 1903.
