McLaren Vale Wine Hopping and Lunch
McLaren Vale is the perfect day trip in South Australia. With great wineries, amazing food and fantastic views it is sure to be the perfect day out.
Dowie Doole Cellar Door
10:30am
Start the day off right, a morning drink at Dowie Doole. Set in the middle of a 53 hectare vineyard in McLaren Vale this is the perfect way to start your wine hopping tour in McLaren. There is a small Tasting charge but the cellar door offers such a nice vibe. Perfect morning!
Lunch at Beach Road Wines
12:30pm
Beach Road Wines have pizzas for vegetarians which is exactly what I ordered and it made my top 3 pizzas I’ve had in my life. Great food, great drinks and an amazing view as you eat your McLaren Vale lunch… it’s just picture perfect happiness.
Samuel’s Gorge Winery
1:30pm
Samuel’s Gorge Winery in McLaren Vale is a great stop on your South Australian Wine tour trip, especially if you love red wine. They have a great cellar door experience with a view overlooking a beautiful gorge. Pour a red, and enjoy!
Beresford Wines
2:30pm
Beresford Wines is a fantastic stop on your McLaren Vale wine trip. They have a beautiful lawn with tonnes of games for kids and adults! We played a game of Kubb (Swedish Viking Chess) over a cider and glass of bubbly. Such a great stop when travelling around McLaren Vale.
Hugh Hamilton
4pm
Hugh Hamilton Wines in McLaren Vale is a great place to grab your next drink. With panoramic views of the vineyard it has such a nice vibe and is stunning. Get a glass, buy a bowl of their home-grown olives and enjoy the scene.
Down the Rabbit Hole
5:15pm
If you live in South Australia and you’re between the age of 18 and 30; you’ve heard of Down The Rabbit Hole. It is the must-go winery, all made to be extremely Instagram worthy. Great vibes, wines and such a great set up for groups.
Jackson Hill Lookout
6:45pm
Jackson Hill is a secret gem in McLaren Vale, South Australia. 2 minutes away from Down the Rabbit Hole is this not-so-known road. Just drive up the sand/gravel road till you get to the top. At this time in the evening it should be surrounded by wild kangaroos. Drive slowly! Seriously, they’re everywhere on that road.
