About This Experience

The Victoria Fossil Cave at the UNESCO World Heritage Naracoorte Caves opens the day — dramatic chambers of stalactites and stalagmites holding one of the world's most significant Ice Age fossil sites, where an expert guide walks you through the story of giant marsupials and the elusive marsupial lion. Then Coonawarra: a hosted seasonal set-menu lunch and wine tasting at Ottelia, a pause at the late-19th-century Coonawarra Railway Siding that once carried the region's grapes and barrels to market, and a private welcome at Wynns Coonawarra Estate — a glass of Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon at the historic Gables before descending into the original underground cellar for the Icon Series: John Riddoch Cabernet and Michael Shiraz. A guided olive oil tasting at boutique grove Confido Coonawarra follows, and the day ends on private property near Penola at a sanctuary caring for orphaned kangaroos — meet the carers and, when conditions allow, join gentle supervised feeding. This stop is not open to the general public and may be substituted if unavailable. • Guided exploration of the Victoria Fossil Cave, Naracoorte Caves • Hosted lunch and wine tasting at Ottelia, Coonawarra • Historic Coonawarra Railway Siding stop • Private Wynns Icon Series tasting in the original underground cellar • Guided Confido olive oil tasting • Exclusive visit to a private kangaroo sanctuary near Penola Private tour with your local host — minimum 2, maximum 8 guests.
