What to expect
You'll be collected from your Adelaide hotel and driven to Hahndorf, where you'll walk through this 1830s German settlement. Expect period cottages, local shops, and a feel for how migrants shaped the region. After time here, the group moves into McLaren Vale proper. You'll stop at two to three cellar doors—working wineries where staff pour current releases and explain what makes the region distinctive. Lunch is a local affair, showcasing produce from the valley. Wine is available for purchase throughout; the tastings themselves may incur small fees depending on venues. Allow for moderate walking between stops and standing time while tasting.
