The McLaren Vale & The Cube Experience is hosted on a comfortable air-conditioned coach, with expert commentary provided by a local driver/guide. From tastings to free time there is something to tempt every tastebud on this full day tour.
The first stop is the Stump Hill Cafe for morning tea and an opportunity to sample wines from some of the region’s smaller wineries that do not have their own cellar door. There is also a gift shop and produce store to explore.
Then it is onto the d’Arenberg Cube. Nestled amongst the Mourvèdre vineyards, this five-storey multi-functional “Rubik’s cube” has been designed to give the optical illusion of floating in a vineyard, with each level overlooking the magnificent rolling hills of Willunga. Enjoy a guided tour through the Alternate Realities Museum before indulging in a formal wine tasting on Level 4 and a scrumptious two-course lunch at Polly’s Restaurant.
Then discover the beautiful 70-acre working vineyard of Beresford Estate Wines, for a choice of one of three tastings in their elegant Tasting Pavilion. The Premium Wine Tasting features a selection of wines from their Estate and Limited Release range. The Vale Brewing Tasting offers up to five craft beers from the sessionable Vale range and the final option, the 23rd Street Distillery Tastings, offers a tasting choice from five spirits or three craft gins.
The final cellar door is the newly renovated and stunning Wirra Wirra Vineyards located amongst the gum trees. Enjoy a short tour of the historic ironstone cellars before being guided through a structured tasting of their quality wines.
Finish the day by exploring the main street of McLaren Vale. Visit the many shops and galleries including the famous Almond Train and Menz Fruchocs Shop before heading back to Adelaide.
