Glen-Forest Tourist Park & Vineyard — Attraction in Green Patch

A brief journey into Port Lincoln’s back country will bring you to a rural attraction with something for all the family.

The property encompasses 400 acres of pastoral scenery, just over a quarter of which is devoted to an animal park keeping kangaroos, koalas, sheep, dingoes, goats, ostriches and a host of bird species.

Every day you can see the koalas being fed at 13:00, and in season there are baby animals that kids can meet and cuddle.

Also geared towards families is a the 18-hole mini golf course, and you can pick up refreshments at the kiosk or make use of the free, shaded BBQ area.

For grownups, some 80 acres of this land is given over to a vineyard, growing Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

Benefitting from a Mediterranean climate tempered by the fresh sea air, these wines are produced under the Lincoln Estate label and can be...

Wow - what a great experience at Glen-Forest! My parents and I went on the Segway Tour and it was the best fun we've had in a long time! My dad is in his 70's and none of us had any experience with segways, but it doesn't take long to find your balance and then you're zooming around like a pro.

But what gets this place 5 stars in particular; the wine was really nice! I’m writing this review from the Barossa valley, where there are many wineries that charge you $20+ just to taste their (cheaper) wine, that still costs $40 or more a bottle. The wine at this zoo was better than all the wine I’ve tasted at this Barossa so far and A LOT cheaper! $60 for 3 bottles!!!??? AMAZING VALUE. We just paid $94 for 2 bottles from a reputable winery in the Barossa and …the wine was better from this Zoo. To all reading this you have to try this wine. Unfortunately it will also make you realise what a rip off the...
