McLaren Vale Wine Region
McLaren Vale
A Mediterranean-style wine region about 40 minutes south of Adelaide, famous for Shiraz and Grenache. Its vineyards stretch all the way to the coast.
More than seventy wineries in the region offer tastings. Besides d'Arenberg's Cube, Wirra Wirra, Chapel Hill and Coriole are all worth visiting, and many wineries serve lunch on their estates. The region is close to the sea, so you can combine it with beaches such as Port Willunga. Hiring a driver or joining a wine tour is recommended, since South Australia's blood alcohol limit for drivers is 0.05. The Willunga Farmers Market on weekends is also very popular.
Opening hours
Winery about 10:00–17:00
