Summer Vines

Wine Tastings

Discover McLaren Vale’s diverse range of wine varieties and styles, from light and bright summer favourites like Fiano, Vermentino and Grenache to year-round classics such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Our region’s Mediterranean-like climate shines through, offering wines that are vibrant, food-friendly and expressive of our coastal landscape. We invite you to savour our region's fresh take on both traditional and emerging wine styles through special festival-curated tastings.

Bookings are highly recommended.
