Together With TrailHopper 🍇
A Perfect Date Day

❤️ Hey Adelaide Insider Romantics!

Imagine this...
You and your partner on a TrailHopper hop-on, hop-off wine tour, with the whole day ahead of you.

You begin in McLaren Vale, sipping a bold Shiraz at d’Arenberg, the iconic Cube glinting in the sunlight as you toast to the day. Then you make your way to Kay Brothers, wandering through rolling vineyards, the sea breeze on your face, and views that stretch for miles.

Later, you find yourselves in Hahndorf, sharing a warm pretzel in a charming café as the afternoon light pours in — no car keys, no schedule, just the two of you soaking up the moment.

No driving, no planning — just a carefree day across SA’s best wine regions.
Ready to turn this daydream into your next adventure?
