Overview
The Tour stars from your hotel at 9.30am, travelling in a luxury Limousine, for a leisurely day of tasting wine at the Fleurieu Peninsula ~ where the vines meet the sea! The only decision you will have to make is which direction you want to travel. As we amble our way through the City, your guide will give you a brief description of the history of Adelaide and point out some of the highlights that we may encounter on our journey to the McLaren Vale. The first option is via the Adelaide Hills, taking in the delights that Mt Lofty, Bridgewater Mill and the village of Hahndorf have to offer. The second option is to follow the coast to Willunga lookout, where you can view the spectacular scenery where the hills meet the sea while overlooking the Fleurieu Peninsula. Our first tasting will be at a small cottage built in the 1800's now occupied by Fox Creek. We will then venture on to Hough Hamilton, Wirra Wirra, and Tapestry. Lunch will be at d'Arrys Veranda Restaurant (a main meal of your choice is accompanied with a glass of wine) we then journey onto Coriole, Kay Brothers and Chapel Hill, finishing up at Samuels George where you will be entertained by Justin McNamee, winemaker, cellar door manager (affectionately known as Sideshow Bob by the locals). It will be hard to depart from this location for the scenery is breathtaking and the wines are exceptional!McLaren Vale is arguably one of the premier Shiraz growing regions in the world. John McLaren was neither winemaker nor gastronomic genius, but he left an indelible mark on one of the foremost food and wine regions of Australia. Working under orders from his boss Colonel William Light, Government Surveyor, McLaren was responsible for mapping the regions south of Adelaide to the Fleurieu Peninsula. Under his guidance, the McLaren Vale District (just 40 minutes south of Adelaide) was born in 1839. The first vines however were planted a year earlier by John Reynell. McLaren Vale has two passions ~ food and wine
