TRANSPORT

UWEA is not providing transportation to the Barossa Valley. If you are arriving through the airport, it is best to pre-book your transfers or hire car.

For transfers, we have done a little research for you and found some small companies that offer both touring and airport transfers. Some don't have websites, but all come highly recommended by the Barossa Visitor Information Centre:

Tipsy Touring	0414 758 481
Barossa Exclusive Tours	0421 638 277
All Barossa Tours	0418 825 533
Ambler Touring	0414 447 134

Uber will pick up from Adelaide Airport and take people to the Barossa, but they are not licensed to operate in Barossa, so can't pick up there.

We are providing transfers to each of the dinners, and the famil day. To get to and from the meeting on Tuesday we recommend that you car share with each other, or book a taxi. Here are the taxi details if you need them:
