What to expect
You'll travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle between three carefully chosen wineries across McLaren Vale. Your first stop is Olivers Taranga, where you taste directly beside the vines supplying their fruit. The d'Arenberg Cube dominates the second visit—expect striking contemporary design across multiple storeys, plus an exhibition space. Lunch follows at d'Arry's Verandah; you pick from the à la carte menu rather than a set offering. Your final winery visit rounds out the afternoon with more tastings. The day moves at your pace.
