What to expect
You'll be collected from Adelaide and driven to McLaren Vale, arriving at the first winery within the hour. Each stop allows time to taste and chat with cellar staff—these aren't rushed tasting-room mill-throughs. Between stops you'll have views of rolling vineyards and coast. Lunch arrives mid-tour at one of the venues, a proper platter of regional produce, not a light snack. The pace suits both newcomers and seasoned wine drinkers. Plan to return to Adelaide by late afternoon.
Good to know
