45 min drive from Adelaide city central, the McLaren Vale region sits in the heart of the First Nation's Kaurna people.
This famous wine producing region is more maritime, nestled between the Southern Ranges and the cooling southern ocean. With around 100 cellar doors there are now diverse beer & gin tastings on offer.
Best known for spicy and rich Shiraz, with the newest star performer Grenache that are often from 80 year old dry grown vines.
New exciting wine styles also include Fiano, Montepulciano and Tempranillo.
Start with a private tasting at a boutique winery where the winemaker will share their Shiraz straight from the barrel or visit some of the regions most notable wineries that have shaped the industry.
Lunch is always a feast for the senses. Imagine a long lunch where the locals go, using locally sourced seasonal produce and paired with local wines.
For something lighter, you can sample tasting platters brimming with locally produced cheeses, cured meats and health-giving pickled goodies.
McLaren Vale is not just about wine - there is something for everyone with resident craft master brewers, gin producers and zero-alcohol options too.
