Something that we’re proud of here in Australia is our wine culture and the many locations that you can visit via charter flight if you consider yourself a wine connoisseur. In Australia, there are four main wine regions – New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. Between them, Australia has been named the 7th largest wine-producing country in the world.

South Australia – The Barossa Valley
A wine tour of Australia would not be complete without a stop in the Barossa Valley. Adelaide, as a whole, is considered the wine capital of Australia, with more than 200 places to enjoy a sip. It truly has earned its place on the Great Wine Capitals of the World list. The Barossa Valley is home to one of the oldest living vines in the world and produces a Shiraz that is absolutely worth the flight down. If you’re heading down this way, you’ve got to make the stop at Hewitson to this world-renowned wine, as well as Yalumba and Seppelt, just to name a few.
