What to expect

Spend a day exploring McLaren Vale, one of South Australia’s most loved wine regions, just a short drive from Adelaide. Known for its Mediterranean climate and diverse soils, the region produces wines with real character — something you’ll notice from the very first sip.

Throughout the day, you’ll visit a selection of local wineries and taste a range of styles, from rich, full-bodied Shiraz to smooth and balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. Each stop offers something a little different, giving you a better feel for what makes McLaren Vale so unique.

It’s not just about the wine, though. The scenery here is just as memorable — rolling vineyards, open countryside, and fresh coastal air all add to the experience. It’s the kind of place where you naturally slow down and enjoy the moment.

Along the way, you’ll also have the chance to pair wines with simple local food, helping you appreciate the flavours even more without overcomplicating things.

Whether you already know your wines or you’re just curious to try something new, this is an easy, enjoyable way to experience McLaren Vale. Good wine, good views, and a relaxed day out — that’s really what it’s all about.

Perry our guide was incredible, friendly, fun and professional. We felt we had time at each stop and were not rushed at all. The stops were great and the lunch was exceptional. The only improvement could be having the option of a glass of wine with lunch or a tasting. The tasting with lunch didn’t come out until after we had eaten, they did apologise at the time. But still a fantastic day

Our tour was great with a full bus of 12. We were picked up on time and had a relaxed drive out to McLaren Vale with Parry at the wheel. We visited 3 wineries on the day along with a quick stop for chocolate and a fantastic unassuming lunch venue. The food was amazing and the portions were big.
