What to expect
Your day begins with a scenic drive to Victor Harbor, where you'll board a working boat for a cruise across open swells—bring seasickness medication if prone. The return walk across the island offers coastal vistas before heading inland to McLaren Vale's wine region. At Gemtree, a winemaker walks you through their biodynamic practices over tastings. d'Arenberg's Cube provides a counterpoint: a contemporary art space housed in a striking building. Lunch anchors the afternoon at the winery restaurant, where locally-grown ingredients feature. The tour suits various fitness levels but involves substantial walking and standing.
