You won’t be able to just show up to a cellar door with this winery - they do tastings by appointment only, but the best part is booking a stay in their private retreat that overlooks the vineyards and out to Mt Lofty. It’s peaceful, private, and exactly the kind of retreat you’re looking for when staying in McLaren Vale. You can book through airbnb but if you reach out directly via email you can often grab a discounted rate when staying mid-week!
