Great for: Sampling some of South Australia’s finest drops

It’s a wonderfully unique experience to walk a wine cellar and taste a vintage as old and refined as you. This exceptional experience is possible at Seppeltsfield winery in the Barossa Valley. The vineyard is famed for its continuous run of Tawny, with a new vintage made every year since 1878. Fittingly named the Centennial Collection, it’s from here you’ll tour the barrels and tap into the one from your birth year to try.

Find the perfect fit

Great for: Taking home a souvenir and lifelong memories.

The streamlined silhouette of a RM Williams’ leather boot was once a tool to weather the Aussie outback, but today it's an unofficial Australian uniform from the Red Centre to the city. To commemorate the nearly 100-year history of the brand, The Tailor Touring Co offer an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the Adelaide workshop. From here you’ll head to the Percy Street Store & Museum where you’ll be fitted with your very own pair of “RMs”.
