Your local guide will introduce you to some of the island’s leading producers, where you'll have the chance to find out about their products, history and sample their range.
On this tour you'll visit the incredible Raptor Domain for the exciting and educational "Free Flight" Birds of Prey Presentation at Raptor Domain. The only free flight Birds of Prey display in South Australia, it is thought by many to be the most interactive Birds of Prey display in Australia.
