What to Expect

This small-group wine tour departs Adelaide city daily at 9 am and heads towards Glenelg taking the stunning coastal route to the Fleurieu Peninsula and McLaren Vale wine region. It's only a 50-minute drive from the CBD. This region is most famous for Shiraz but also does excellent Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, as well as Spanish and Italian varieties such as Fiano, Vermentino, Tempranillo, Mouvedre, Nero d’Avola & Sangiovese.

Drive down the beautiful mid-south coast, with its glistening vistas of the Gulf St Vincent and pristine beaches towards the first legendary cellar door. Along the way, you'll enjoy informative and interesting commentary from your driver/guide, learning about this history of the region, the wineries, and wine varieties. The wineries visited could include d’Arenberg, Serafino, Leconfield, Paxton, Wirra Wirra, or Fox Creek, but will vary on the day due to availability. Each of these boutique wineries and cellar doors has its own unique character and picturesque location, so make sure you take your camera to get some enviable snaps of your day out in McLaren Vale.

Enjoy time at another beautiful winery steeped in history. The friendly and knowledgeable staff will happily guide you through each wine tasting experience. You are, of course, able to purchase wine to take back home as the perfect souvenir. A sumptuous lunch awaits at a winery restaurant, accompanied, of course, by a glass of wine.

Drive through the ‘Vale’ to visit two more cellar doors for tastings, and the final chance to purchase wine to take home to share with family and friends (or keep to yourself!). You'll pass by rolling vistas of vineyards along the way before returning back to Adelaide.

Where we visit:
