Farewell to Rockford - Barossa Tour [Postponed]

[cove]

Last wine tour I attended I stayed at the intercontinental which was ok. Any thoughts on where to stay this time?

We arrive late on Friday night so are staying at the Atura ADL then moving to the Hilton on Saturday and Sunday nights.
Don't forget the Hilton Amex offer which expires on 31/1/20 - spend $400 get $80 back.

Im staying at The Pullman, I forgot about the Amex deal, oh well.

 

[I love to travel]

I am staying with family. Arrive very late Friday night.

I booked the Intercontinental as I have loyalty points with them. The price was just over 170 a night. Mrscove says I may be jet lagged as we get back from Europe just before this tour.

I usually stay at the IC, but the price for a single night this year is far too much for me to stomach, so will instead stay across the street at the Mercure Grosvenor (~$120). I'll hardly be in the room anyway.

Anyone else beside Fifa staying on Sunday night.
Last time I was the only one who stayed Sunday, besides the Adelaideians.
Problem is there isn't a flight I can get home on a Sunday evening.

 

[Doug_Westcott]

I’ll be staying Saturday and Sunday nights, probably at the Hilton, but haven’t booked yet.

As a mailing list member, I presume if I have already purchased 6 bottles I can't set aside another 6 for my visit?

That would be correct.

Mrs Mac might be @scoobiedoodle.

I’ve booked 3 nights King Club Intercontinental. Not sure what to expect.

It’s Mrs Henley beach favourite as well, there could be a sprint on!
We get it from west beach cellars, they stock a lot of rockfords

I was born at Henley Beach. Same hospital where my mum and all her siblings were born.

@henleybeach - I owe you, big time

Unfortunately we are heading back Sunday. But will be there Thursday night.
Hopefully we can catch up and chat about old cars and wine

I will be there Sunday night @rogerkambah.

I will be there Sunday night @rogerkambah.

Me too

 

[Buzzard]

I've only seen 2 or 3 questions come in.
Do those attending want prizes?
At least a dozen Rockford wines were going to be up for grabs.
Come on people, surely you can come up with 1 or 2 questions each.
