WINE AND WETLAND TOUR AT BURK SALTER WINES
Burk Salter Wines is situated on the banks of the Murray River at Blanchtown, in a region renowned for its rich history and spectacular wildlife. As well as tastings at its cellar door, the boutique winery now offers exclusive tours of the family vineyard and surrounding wetlands. Jump aboard an immaculately restored 1927 Chevrolet Truck to begin your vineyard and wetland adventure. During the tour, you’ll see an ancient Aboriginal canoe tree; stop off at a saltpan to learn about the effects of salinity on the environment; and take a journey down the old Cobb and Co. Road, the major passenger and mail route between Adelaide and Sydney during the nineteenth century. You’ll also see abundant bird life and river scenery along the way.
