Itinerary

Leaving Adelaide, you'll head out through the southern suburbs and along the metropolitan coastline, enjoying coastal views as you make your way to the McLaren Vale Information Centre for a morning tea break. This is a great opportunity to gather local insights and stretch your legs before delving into the region's delights.

Then it’s onto one of the highlights of your day, the d’Arenberg Cube. Nestled amongst the vineyards, this five-level “Rubik’s Cube” has been carefully designed to entice and excite the senses. From the Alternate Realities Museum, filled with quirky art installations, to the many other creative displays, there is so much to see and experience whilst you are there. Your visit will also include a formal wine tasting on Level 4, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the vineyards and surrounding countryside.

Next, you'll head to Chalk Hill Wines, a family-owned winery dedicated to making small batch, handcrafted wines of distinction. The Harvey family has been growing grapes for six generations and has six vineyards spread across the McLaren Vale region. Here, you'll indulge in a traditional Italian-style shared lunch prepared by their Cucina Di Strada, perfectly paired with four of Chalk Hill’s most popular wines. Expect delicious Italian fare that complements the regional wines.

Continue to Beresford Wines, where you can choose from one of three distinct tasting experiences in their brand-new Tasting Pavilion. The Premium Wine Tasting introduces you to a selection of their wines from the Estate and Limited Release range. Alternatively, the Vale Brewing Tasting offers up to five craft beers from their sessionable Vale range. And the third option is the 23rd Street Distillery tastings, where you can choose from five craft spirits or three craft gins, providing a diverse range of local sips.

The final cellar door visit is Wirra Wirra Vineyards, located amongst the gum trees in their historic ironstone cellars. Enjoy a short tour of the cellars, learning about their winemaking history and biodynamic practices, followed by a structured tasting of their range of quality wines. Look out for the unique ‘catapult’ and the ¾ tonne Angelus Bell in the picturesque grounds surrounding the cellar door – iconic features of this beloved winery.

After your visit to Wirra Wirra Vineyards, settle back on the coach for your comfortable return trip to Adelaide, filled with memories of McLaren Vale's superb food, wine, and unique attractions.
