Itinerary
McLaren Vale & Cube Tour with Lunch
Departing from central Adelaide, we travel through the southern suburbs to reach our first stop at Stump Hill Café. Here, start your day with a delicious morning tea or opt for a wine tasting from local boutique vineyards, while enjoying views of the surrounding gardens.
The tour’s standout attraction is d’Arenberg Winery’s Cube, a striking structure resembling a Rubik’s cube amidst the vineyard rows. The five-storey building offers stunning panoramic views from its upper floors.
Next, we visit Chalk Hill Wines, a family-owned winery known for their small-batch, handcrafted wines. Enjoy an Italian-style shared lunch paired with a wine of your choice in this charming setting.
Continue on to the nearby Beresford Wines tasting pavilion, where you can choose from estate wines, limited-edition releases, craft beers, or regional gins.
Your culinary journey concludes at the historic Wirra Wirra Vineyards. There will also be ample free time to explore McLaren Vale’s main street, with its charming shops and cafes, before returning to Adelaide.
