About this tour
Spend eight hours navigating McLaren Vale's finest with a private driver, three cellar doors, and a proper lunch. Start at Olivers Taranga for cool-climate wines amongst the vines, then explore d'Arenberg's geometric Cube—a five-storey architectural oddity housing tastings and a Salvador Dalí exhibition. Sit down to a two-course seasonal menu at d'Arry's Verandah before finishing at Hugo or an Italian-focused alternative. Your route, your pace, your preferences.

What to expect
You'll be collected and driven through rolling vineyard country to start at Olivers Taranga, where you'll taste local varieties in their cellar door overlooking the source. Next comes d'Arenberg's Cube—expect a visual jolt. The five-storey building doubles as a wine museum and contemporary art space (Dalí's surrealist works included). After exploring, you'll sit for lunch in d'Arry's Verandah restaurant, choosing from seasonal dishes. The final stop is Hugo's cellar door or a boutique Italian winery, depending on your group's preferences. Throughout, your driver adjusts the day to suit your pace and interests.
