Product information
Just 40 minutes south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale North boasts a spectacular mix of the old and the new set in a lush coastal location. Whether it is the wine styles, the vineyards or the cellar doors, you will find McLaren Vales blend of tradition and innovation to be unforgettable.
Join our hop-on, hop-off winery tour departing McLaren Vale Visitor Info Centre at 11am. Hop on or off at any of the premium wineries on the circuit, taste some of the best wine in Australia, enjoy the scenery and even a regional lunch.
Set along the Fleurieu coastline, McLaren Vale North offers lush rolling vines and hill top views over the valley and to the sea. Many wineries are optimally sited to offer spectacular vistas, with picnic areas and benches for all to enjoy.
These days McLaren Vale is as much known for its newer wine styles such as Sangiovese and Barbera as it is for the more traditional Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. Shiraz still accounts for 50% of the crush and for good reason â any fan of big dry reds will love the world class Shiraz coming out of this region.
Our trail makes the most of McLaren Vale North rich and varied food offerings, and there are options to suit every taste and budget. Whether it is a grazing platter of local produce, fine dining, or one of the numerous cafes and bakeries in the township, we have got you covered. Alternatively bring a picnic and perch on the hilltop at Kay Brothers enjoying serenity and stunning views.
We are proud to give you McLaren Vale North as though you were driving yourself. Join us in the city or within the region and hop on or off along our trail as you please. Having too good a time at a particular cellar door, or enjoying lunch a little too much? Stay on and catch a later bus! With a bit of planning (and one of our handy Info packs!) you truly can Tour Your Way.
Secure your spot and book today to enjoy the stunning McLaren Vale scenery and unforgettable cellar door experiences that are on offer.
