Lack of shower access, mud caked up to your knees, uneven sleeping ground and the dreaded toilet run. For those who have experienced the chaos of a camping holiday, it certainly isn’t always pretty.
If you want a little more luxury in their outdoor living, camping doesn’t have to mean getting down and dirty, and there’s never been a better time to familiarise yourself with some of South Australia’s most beautiful landscapes, than with this ultimate Barossa glamping weekend, where your accommodation and tours of some of Barossa’s most historic wineries are all sorted for you.
Nestled between four world-class wineries, will be your base-camp, where guests can enjoy the incredible scenery and tranquility of the Barossa Valley, with the mod-cons of air-conditioned bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms and a fully-equipped camp kitchen, for a camping experience that’s a little more boujee than your bog standard tent in a field.
Welcomed into your accommodation, the beautiful Hutch Hilton on Hutton Vale Farm, you’ll be greeted with a tasting of Hutton Vale Farm Wines and an education into their fascinating history and heritage.
The inviting accommodation includes a cosy crackling open fire, four separate bedrooms, exposed brick walls and wooden beams, so you don’t have to completely abandon the rustic style of country living for your glamping experience.
A nearby local farmers market will supply you with a range of fresh, delicious produce for an invigorating al fresco breakfast with the incredible cellar doors at Henschke and Flaxman wines both under 15 minutes drive away.
This luxurious glamping package includes a private tasting and lunch prepared by winemaker and Season 6 Masterchef contestant, Col Sheppard, who will give guests a guided wine tasting before sitting at a long table overlooking the stunning vineyard, enjoying a leisurely two course lunch of seasonal produce.
From $295pp, you can wake up in the picturesque Eden Valley, before exploring over 150 years of family winemaking history with Henshcke, enjoying lunch served by a renowned winemaker and Masterchef finalist at Flaxman, finishing this idyllic weekend with a tour and tasting at one of Australia’s most historic family-owned wineries, Yalumba.
Yalumba’s ‘Unlocked Experience’ begins in the beautiful architecture of the Wine Room, giving guests a short history of Yalumba’s Hill-Smith family, followed by a private tour of the grounds, historic buildings, the unique Yalumba Cooperage and their iconic Signature Cellar. The tour will culminate with a tasting of Yalumna’s finest wines, whilst guests can graze on a Cooper’s Platter of local artisanal produce.
Prices for the Ultimate Barossa Glamping Experience begin from $295pp, accommodating groups of two, four and six.
