Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Adelaide
Check in to your accommodation and explore the food and wine capital of South Australia.
Day 2: Penfolds Magill Estate
Today indulge in a gourmet experience at the legendary Penfolds Magill Estate, where some of the world’s great wines are produced. Enjoy tastings in the Estate’s private rooms and a sumptuous lunch at the Cellar Door.
Day 3: Adelaide
Free day to explore this pretty city.
Day 4: Barossa Valley
Your boutique wine and food touring continues with a visit to the historic Northern Barossa with its 80 cellar doors. Visit one of the oldest vineyards in the world where Shiraz vines were planted in 1843. Tours are small groups of up to 8 people to ensure a relaxed and unhurried day. Enjoy tasting and a delicious lunch with an accompanying glass of wine.
Day 5: Board The Ghan
Departing Adelaide, what lies ahead is rugged, beautiful and spectacular through the Red Centre to the tropical north of Australia. Settle into your cabin and watch the rolling pastoral lands of South Australia from your window, or meet your fellow travellers in the lounge car. Before long some of the oldest rock formations in the world, the Flinders Ranges, come into view. As darkness envelops the rugged outback, it’s time to indulge in a regionally-inspired dinner and all-inclusive fine wines and beverages.
Day 6: The Ghan ALICE SPRINGS
Begin with a freshly brewed coffee or juice as the day dawns at Marla, an outback outpost in the remote reaches of South Australia. It is here, deep inland, that you will enjoy a one of a kind experience, as you watch the desert come to life at sunrise. All aboard for brunch as you make your way through the MacDonnell Ranges to Alice Springs where a choice of Off Train Excursions awaits. Alice is an iconic Red Centre outpost. 1,500 kilometres from the nearest major city, it may be remote, but offers plenty to explore – home to doctors who fly, rivers that run dry, and a cast of colourful characters. Your time in the ‘capital out of the outback’ offers numerous opportunities to explore its historic legacy and unique environment.
Day 7: The Ghan KATHERINE & DARWIN
Your day dawns in the tropical north. The pristine wilderness of Katherine is stirring and powerful, and you’ll have the chance to explore it from the water on an Off Train Experience. Cruise the jaw-dropping Nitmiluk Gorge, learn more about its ancient Indigenous rock paintings and gain insight into the culture of the traditional owners of Nitmiluk, the Jawoyn people. As evening falls, arrive in Darwin to complete your epic Australian journey.
