About Benders Bus Tours
Benders Bus Tours runs private group wine days out of Adelaide, with a driver and a bus kept for your group alone. The two Adelaide tours are a McLaren Vale day and an Adelaide Hills day that takes in Hahndorf. Each runs for about eight hours and visits three wineries, with time for a local town or attraction if the group wants one. Pricing is per person and falls as the group grows, from small groups of two to four up to celebration groups of around forty. On the McLaren Vale tour lunch is part of the price; on the Hills tour guests pay for their own lunch. Tastings are usually covered, and the team flags any winery that charges more when it confirms the itinerary. The extras suit a celebration. Groups can ask for a cake, with gluten-free options, hire a professional photographer for a birthday or anniversary, add another tasting, or call in at breweries and distilleries along the way. Drinking on the bus is possible under a liquor licence arranged on request, at extra cost. The fleet runs to 13-, 20- and 24-seat buses, and bigger groups can be accommodated. Pick-up and drop-off at your door are free within 15 km of the Adelaide CBD, extra pick-up points cost $50 to $100 depending on distance, and airport or cruise-ship collections can be added. Children are welcome on private tours, while tastings are for guests 18 and over. A 10% deposit holds the date, with the balance paid closer to the tour.
