Barossa Balloon Adventures
Balloon Adventures offers one of South Australia’s most iconic experiences. This is slow travel at altitude and it’s magic.

Boutique in feel, but grounded in story – Alkina is where Barossa soul meets quiet luxury.
Set on a biodynamic vineyard in the heart of Greenock, this is more than a base for wine tasting. It’s a fully immersive vineyard retreat – where sunsets hit different, the soil is revered, and a glass of Grenache comes with a side of terroir chat.
Inside, it’s a thoughtful fusion of vintage art, curated furniture, and modern luxuries. Both the Old Quarter Homestead and Cottage have been carefully restored to reflect the land they sit on – layered, storied, and effortlessly elegant. You’ll wake to vineyard views, wander the organic kitchen garden, and pour a nightcap as dusk settles over the vines.
Named 2024 Global Winner – Best of Wine Tourism Accommodation, Alkina Stay is quiet luxury, with soul.
Your stay begins with a complimentary tasting in the Tasting Room – five wines, a local platter, and a guided deep dive into the land beneath your glass.
From there, the pace is yours to set. Forage the kitchen garden for citrus and herbs, or let the team take care of dinner entirely – with a chef-prepared feast or a seasonal supper hamper delivered straight to your door.
Mornings are best spent slow, coffee in hand, watching the light move across the vines. Explore nearby cellar doors by e-bike, soak in golden hour with something sparkling, or dive deeper into the story with the Polygon Experience – a guided tasting and vineyard tour that reveals Alkina’s rare micro-terroirs from the ground up.
At every turn, the experience is generous, grounded, and just a little bit magical.
