Adelaide
Seven days of extraordinary food, wine, and landscapes — from the Barossa Valley to McLaren Vale, the Adelaide Hills to the city itself.
7 Days · All-Inclusive · Maximum 10 GuestsThe Destination
South Australia's finest, all in one week.
Adelaide is one of Australia's most underrated destinations — a city of world-class restaurants, celebrated wine regions, and landscapes that shift from rolling vineyard hills to dramatic coastal cliffs, all within an hour's drive of each other.
Your Grevillea Journeys week is based from a magnificent private villa in the Adelaide Hills or McLaren Vale wine country. Each morning begins with a chef-prepared breakfast. Each day takes you somewhere extraordinary. Each evening brings you home.
Day by Day
Your Seven Days
A sample week through the best of South Australia — subject to final itinerary confirmation.
Day 1
Arrival & Welcome
Arrive at Adelaide Airport where your dedicated host meets you for a private transfer to your villa in the Adelaide Hills. Settle in, explore your home for the week, and take in the surroundings. Then the week begins properly: welcome drinks on the terrace as the sun drops over the vines, followed by your 4-course welcome dinner — a chef-prepared celebration of South Australian produce. Barossa Valley charcuterie. McLaren Vale olive oil. Clare Valley wines. Four courses designed to introduce you to the flavours of the week ahead. The table is set. The week has started.

Day 2
Barossa Valley
Australia's most celebrated wine region. Your host takes you through the Barossa's iconic estates — with cellar door tastings, a long lunch at one of the valley's acclaimed restaurants, and time to wander the historic villages of Tanunda and Angaston. The sample itinerary may include estates such as Penfolds, Seppeltsfield and Henschke, subject to availability and confirmation.

Then you return home to something extraordinary. The villa is transformed. The table is dressed. Welcome drinks are poured. And your private chef presents the week's centrepiece: a 7-course gala dinner built around the finest South Australian produce — Kangaroo Island seafood, Barossa Valley lamb, Adelaide Hills truffles, and the region's most celebrated wines. Seven courses. Ten guests. One table. The week ends the way it deserves to.
