Itinerary
- 1Pickup will be in the Adelaide CBD where we will head to the Barossa Valley for the whole day of your private wine tour before being brought back to their destination in the Adelaide CBD at 5pm. Your private tour of the Barossa will be with Kym Farley, a born and bred local of the area and you get his insights in to the area.While you are in the Barossa Valley you will get the chance to see some of Barossa's best small wine producers, possibly meet a winemaker with lunch also provided for the day. I generally aim to do 2 cellar doors before lunch with 1-2 cellar doors after lunch.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Global2826590 contributionsExcellent Tour - Exactly what we wanted!Our recent tour of the Barossa was fabulous, I connected with Kym in advance, and discussed what we were looking for. Kym took the information I provided and planned a fantastic tour that featured everything we were interested in seeing and doing. His love for the area shines through in the tour, and the whole day was fun and relaxed. We enjoyed the various cellar door wine tastings he planned, with a special highlight stop at Seppeltsfield Road Distillers for a gin tasting. This private, customized tour is well worth it, we would do it again in a heartbeat. Kym is very personable and makes the whole day enjoyable. He also drives a very comfortable, new vehicle, so the whole day is spent in comfort. I highly recommend a tour with Barossa Bespoke Tours. You will get exactly what you are looking for with great recommendations from Kym.Written 11 December 2022

Kym hands down is the best wine guide we have experienced in many wine trips across the world. He looked after me, my partner and a friend on a full day tour of the Barossa. So accomodating to bespoke requests in the morning (after a very big conference the day before). Very well known with personal relationships across the Barossa opened up unique discussions and experiences that made the tour that much more personal and memorable. We were staying in the Barossa and while enjoying a tapas lunch organised by Kym he had already made contact with the managers of the residence and shuttled our luggage ahead of us which was such a nice touch. Couldn’t recommend Barossa Bespoke Tours any more for whether you value a custom tour, a little bit of flexibility or where having a local give you the insider perspective makes the trip!

The local knowledge that Kym regaled us with throughout the tour was exceptional. So well thought out, he started with winery recommendations we'd been given into account, specifically asked us which varieties we were partial to; then took us on a fantastic journey through an incredible region.
The only disappointment was that we could spend more time in the region and with Kim.
The van was extremely comfortable and we were made to feel so welcome at each winery.
Could not recommend higher.

I knew the experience with Kym would be wonderful from the first contact, where he went out of his way to call me, gauge my interest and understanding of the region and to recommend a bespoke tour for our group of 8, factoring in our specific circumstances. He collected us at our accommodation and drove us to many wineries and lunch over the course of the day. His knowledge or the region and storytelling was superb and really was the icing on the cake to a wonderful day. He also recommended other activities in the region which we were able to experience the following day. All in all, I could not fault Kym and would recommend him to anyone that would listen.

What an amazing 2 days, we have done several tours of Barossa and McLaren Vale over the years, but Kym has been by far the best we have come across. His knowledge of Barossa is second to none, and after telling Kym we wanted to book him for McLaren Vale, he combined the knowledge he already had with a week of research prior to our tour. His cellar door recommendations were perfect, and his lunch recommendations were the best we have experienced. Kym's inclusions make his tours incredible value, the price initially had me wondering but the tour we booked with him was all inclusive, and really amazing value. I honestly could not recommend Barossa Bespoke Tours highly enough.

The only way to explore the beautiful Barossa is with Kym from Barossa Bespoke Tours. From my partners initial contact to our last drop off and goodbye, Kym was prompt, professional, flexible and knowledgeable. My partner and I spent a wonderful 2 days with Kym as he shared his passion of all things Barossa (history, wineries, wines, landscape, climate etc).
Kym customised our winery and lunch visits to showcase the variety of the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills (the 2 regions we visited). We visited (just to name a few) the historic and aesthetically pleasing Hentley Farm, the expansive and lush Shaw & Smith and The Lane, and Eperosa and Ballycroft where we got to walk through a working winery, taste fresh crushed grapes and talk to the actual winemakers. Our tour covered everything you could ever ask for.
Kym went above and beyond. He protected a very expensive bottle of wine we bought, called ahead to other wineries on days we were not with him to let them know we would be stopping by and helped my partner plan how and where he was going to propose!!
We had the most amazing and memorable time in the Barossa and could not recommend Kym enough. Thank you Kym.

We had a great "final" day in Australia after two months with Kym visiting the Barossa. The day Kym put together was perfect - he totally took into account the information we had given him about our tastes in wine and tailored the perfect day. We have done a number of wine tours around Australia and this was the best one yet! We strongly recommend taking a tour with Kym if you are interested in the Barossa - he really has the inside track and knows the area like the back of his hand having grown up there. Thanks for a great day! Tricia & Jerome

Tour with Kym (Barossa Bespoke Tours) goes beyond just cellar door booking, but also sharing of his knowledge about wine types and wine regions, as well as flexibility-driven tour plan. Apart from Barossa Valley, we also asked Kym to take us out to McLaren Valley so we had 2 successful days with him.
Kym looks after his guests and his car, which is clean and comfortable. Seeing a first aid kit in his car gives some credential of a safety-driven mindset. We will recommend Barossa Bespoke Tours to our friends anytime.

Kym was great at understanding what we were looking for and listened to our preferences to plan & deliver a fantastic tour of the Adelaide Hills. It was the highlight of our trip to South Australia. The wineries he selected were exceptional and very welcoming. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and we found the day very relaxing and stress-free. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend. Will certainly be doing this tour again.

My wife is an experienced Barossa connoisseur and Kym took us to multiple *amazing* wineries she had never heard of. We found some amazing wines different to what we had expected.
I mentioned I loved history, so Kym took us to see a 19th-C organ getting played and a tour of it's inner works. It was mind-blowing.
I mentioned my brother and I were playing golf the next day, so Kym introduced us to several wine-makers who played there a lot and could give us tips.
We said we wanted to go into town for dinner, so Kym dropped us off next door so we could get some drinks while we wanted for our table, and introduced us to the musician playing at Z Bar, who then gave us a very fun set.
I've been on a few wine tours before, but this was the best. My wife had been to Barossa many times, but said this trip was her favourite.

If you are looking for someone that can build a customized wine tasting experience, drive you around and teach you about the vineyards of the area then Kym (owner of Barossa Bespoke Tours) is your guy. He focuses on those that are really wanting to learn about wine and have a quality tasting. He grew up in the Barossa Valley so literally all the wineries know him because he have lived there his whole life. Definitely recommend him!
