Insider's Tip
Try the local honey yogurt, made entirely on the island, with your breakfast and then a "by appointment only" barrel tasting at the Islander Estate after lunch. The grenache there is one of my favorites. If you have an extra day for your trip, stay on Kangaroo Island a little longer and try a private tour to meet the producers; cheese, honey, wine, and olive oil are just some of the delights. -Craig Owner of Exceptional KI
