Tastings in different settings

At Ballycroft Vineyard and Cellars, you can plan a bookable tasting as a cellar-door experience. The winery is located at 1 Adelaide Road, Greenock, 5360, South Australia. Booking details may change; check them before your visit.

Kalleske offers a different setting: a guided private tour of the winery and vineyards is followed by a personal tasting and a platter of regional produce.
