McLaren Vale Unveiled

This McLaren Vale Tour is a full day, personally guided, end-to-end immersion into the region, plus a three course lunch at top 100 Australian restaurant, The Salopian Inn.

Right on The Vineyard Retreat’s back step, stroll into the indigenous history of the Onkaparinga Gorge to see native animals and geology dating back 600 million years. A favourite with locals, be blown away by the natural beauty of our ancient gorge.

Your McLaren Vale Tour moves on to the“ little gem” – Samson Tall. Epitomising the modern style of McLaren Vale, with a select range of single vineyard wines, enjoy a winery tour and tasting in the Chapel.

Wirra Wirra is an Australian wine icon. Go behind the scenes in Wirra Wirra’s historic ironstone cellars, then a lunch of seasonal produce and wine at the Salopian Inn.

Join Toby or Emmanuelle Bekkers of Bekkers Fine Wines to experience the product of soil and soul. Enjoy a private tasting in the luxurious tasting room overlooking the estate in the heartland of Grenache. Truly stunning, cellar-worthy wines for any officianado.

Step in the creative genius of the d‘Arenberg Cube. A five-storey avant-guarde Rubik’s Cube inspired cellar door come art installation. The flamboyant Cubist building erupts from the ground (and the brain of Chester Osborn) in the heart of its original McLaren Vale vineyard.

Visit a beautiful beach alongside McLaren Vale to see majestic views of the Fleurieu Peninsula coastline and spectacular biodiversity.

Then retire to your private deck and fireplace at The Vineyard Retreat.
