The Adelaide Hills wine region in the longest in Australia covering 70 kilometres in length from the Barossa Valley to the McLaren Vale wine regions. With high altitude sites and a variety of soil types there is an abundance of wine varietals and styles with a definite ‘cool climate’ edge.
Our Emerging Talent Wine Tour will excite you with new wine styles, lateral winemaking and different takes on fruit source and terroir. There is some serious innovation happening that is centred around minimal intervention, wild yeast creations and the occasional ‘let it ride’ method.
The Long Way To The Top Tour aims to showcase those wine producers in the Barossa Valley that have stuck it through thick and thin and are producing some fantastic (but underrated) wines in the region – the kind of folk who walk past you in the airport after a tough gig selling their stories in board rooms and dining rooms across the globe.
The Western Ridge Dwellers tour is a tour of discovery of the wine producers and cellar doors in this unique pocket of the Barossa with it’s mineral soils and harsh micro climate (often referred to locally as ‘the desert’) but also unique styles. The people out on the ridge are hard working types that face a very different part of the Barossa that we aim to show you.
The McLaren Vale wine region is situated between the Mt Lofty Ranges and the Gulf of St Vincent in South Australia. With over 80 cellar doors and a vibrant local food scene the region is also considered the birthplace of South Australia’s wine industry with 180 years of winemaking history. The proximity to the ocean and ranges not only provides spectacular views from the vines to the sea – the maritime climate and varying soil diversity make the region ideal for producing quality wines.
