Indeed, the former rail tunnel at Panorama is used a wine storage facility. Photos are on the website.
Awesome, good find AG. A friend and myself are planning an investigative walk through the hills. Our goal - to find each of the 4 tunnel entrances. So this one is definitely easy :-)
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

I've walked to the southern portal of the old Panorama tunnel before (the other end of this storage facility) - from memory, there's a walking trail that gets you right up to the current track, but you have to clamber up a steep-ish slope covered in loose gravel/stones to get to the old tunnel. Mind you, this was a good ten years ago, so things might have changed a little bit since then.

Actually, the more I think, I seem to recall walking right over the current tracks and down the other side, even further east. I think we had to stop when we came to a ridiculously steep slope somewhere along the path. Ah, memories.

I bought an "Indiana Jones Exploration" kit on ebay. Just waiting for it to arrive before trekking towards the tunnels.

Does it have a wide-brimmed hat and a recording of Sean Connery calling you 'Junior'?
