John and Libby Baldwin have travelled extensively around Australia and throughout the world, and in 1984, decided to settle in the beautiful Barossa Valley. An extensive knowledge and passion for wine, a love of entertaining and meeting people, and a recognition that no-one was looking after the true wine explorer gave John and Libby an idea to begin private wine tours.
A search for suitable cars found two very rare and immaculate 1962 Daimler Limousines, which were previously used in royal tours of the sixties. Barossa Daimler Tours began in 1994, looking after the discerning traveller who wanted a private wine experience with a knowledgeable guide in a luxury vehicle.
Their commitment to quality and John's love affair with wine has seen them become the most awarded tour operators in the Barossa Valley.

Here is what other travellers have to say about Barossa Daimler Tours:
'When I die, if I have been good, I hope to find myself in the back of John's Daimler on an eternal tour of the glorious wineries of the Barossa."
Susan Attwood, The Sunday Telegraph, UK. 5/08/07
"A wonderful day, great selection of vineyards, the car was great, but John was the best. Many thanks for a wonderful day! An introduction to Aussie wines that we could not have gotten elsewhere."
