Located just 45 minutes south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale is a vibrant and beautiful region known for its sustainable winegrowing practices, world-class wines, and culinary delights. The region’s Mediterranean climate has helped to shape its diverse wine and food culture, and there is something to suit every taste and preference.
Best known for its Shiraz wines, McLaren Vale also boasts a variety of Spanish and Italian varieties such as Fiano, Vermentino, Tempranillo, and Sangiovese. These varieties are well-suited to the region’s climate and provide wine lovers with another layer of discovery.
Over one third of the region’s cellar doors offer local produce as part of the tasting experience, from high-end, starred restaurants to casual platters. At Ambler Touring, we specialize in small group private tours of McLaren Vale, and we can help you design your perfect day out.
