Private wine tours from Adelaide offer a relaxed way to explore McLaren Vale or the Barossa Valley without crowded tasting rooms or the need to drive.

Designed for at least two adults, the eight-hour outing runs from around 9am to 5pm, with chauffeur pickup within 10 kilometres of Adelaide’s CBD.

Guests travel in a Mercedes-Benz or another luxury vehicle, subject to availability, and start the day with locally made sparkling wine.

In McLaren Vale, the winemaker experience is with Matt Wenk at Smidge Wines; in the Barossa, it is with Bronson Kies at Kies Family Wines.

The itinerary also includes two boutique wineries and time for a gourmet lunch at a selected vineyard restaurant.

Tasting fees at the additional wineries are not included, though bottled water and refreshments are provided throughout the journey.

Available daily for adults aged 18 and over, the tours can be booked until 31 August 2027.

Halloween in Adelaide will sound different by candlelight at St Peter’s Cathedral, where Amicus Strings is set to perform beneath the Gothic Revival arches.

The North Adelaide concert pairs classical chills, including Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre and Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, with familiar film and television themes.

Music from Psycho, Halloween, Beetlejuice and The Addams Family sits alongside the more playful Thriller and Ghostbusters.

Rather than jump scares, the appeal is hearing those familiar tunes played up close in a striking setting.

The performance runs for 60 minutes, with doors opening 30 minutes beforehand and no late entry permitted.

Seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis within each ticket zone.

Children must be at least eight, and those under 16 need an accompanying adult.

The cathedral is listed as wheelchair accessible, though the programme may change.

Michael Jackson’s hits take on a new sound in Adelaide when Amicus Strings performs a candlelight tribute at The Meeting Hall on Paul Kelly Lane.

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons will fill St Peter’s Cathedral in North Adelaide during a candlelit concert performed by a string quartet.

From spring’s lively arrival to winter’s icy edge, the music captures the changing year in vivid sound.

The programme also includes La Folia, bringing another burst of Baroque drama to the cathedral’s Gothic Revival setting.

The performance lasts about 60 minutes, offering Adelaide audiences an atmospheric introduction to classical music or a fresh encounter with a favourite.

Adelaide Oval looks different from above, and its two-hour daytime RoofClimb gives visitors a chance to see the stadium and city from a new angle.

The purpose-built route crosses between the Western Stand and Riverbank Stand, with time to pause and take in the view.

From the rooftop, the River Torrens and city centre are close at hand, while the foothills and, on clear days, the coast stretch into the distance.

Visitors seeking a thrill can try the lean-out option; others can simply enjoy a quieter moment above the ground.

Before the climb, participants receive a safety briefing, a RoofClimb suit and equipment, with lockers available for belongings.

The daytime package also includes a cap, achievement certificate and printed group photograph.

Adults and children aged eight to 15 can take part, though families should check current participation conditions before booking.

For locals and visitors alike, it is a memorable way to rediscover an Adelaide landmark.

Adelaide is easy to explore on foot, but its best stories are not always visible from the street.

Radelaide Tours helps visitors find them through small-group walks led by local guides.

At the Adelaide Central Market, food tours make time for the growers, makers and stallholders behind the city’s flavours.

Other outings take in neighbourhood food scenes, hidden bars, central laneways and familiar landmarks.

The unhurried pace gives guests room to ask questions, follow a conversation and notice details they might otherwise miss.

For travellers, it is a chance to understand how Adelaide lives, not just where to go.

For locals, a guided walk can bring fresh perspective to places they pass every day.

From the market to the East End, Radelaide Tours puts the people and everyday character of the city at the centre of the experience.
