Train trips aren’t your typical foodie fare, but this one comes with a few very important differences (and one very impressive discount.)

If you’ve ever dreamed of taking the historic Ghan train trip from Darwin to Adelaide, then this deal might just clinch it for you.  The Taste of South Australia package is one of several Journey Beyond Rail Expeditions packages that travellers have been given early access to for the 2021 season.

The nine day, eight night package not only includes the train journey, all meals and beverages, off-train excursions, accommodation in Adelaide and a Penfolds wine experience tour in Adelaide’s Barossa Valley (three course lunch included), but also a whole stack of other things, which, quite frankly, have us swooning a little.

The packages $3,869.00 price tag is almost a thousand dollars off the everyday high season price. That’s a 20% discount, people.

The Taste of South Australia package includes:

* 4 days and 3 nights aboard The Ghan Expedition, Darwin to Adelaide, including all meals, beverages and Off Train Excursions in Katherine, Alice Springs and Coober Pedy
* Transfer from Adelaide Parklands Terminal to hotel
* 5 nights accommodation in Adelaide including breakfast daily
* The Iconic Penfolds Experience tour including a 3-course lunch with matching wines
* 1 day Northern Barossa Valley Voyager tour
* 8 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 3 dinners

Naturally, all the housebound globetrotters out there are sure to snap this one up quickly, so don’t be a slow-poke. Snag now, skidaddle later.
