From helicopter tours to canapes in a cave, South Australia’s cellar doors offer so much more than a place to taste wine.
There are those with lawns for the kids to play, those with restaurant dining and those with accommodation on site – no designated driver required.
To help navigate the more-than-200 cellar doors in the state, we’ve launched the ultimate SA Cellar Door Selector:
Looking for a casual cellar door to share a cheese platter with friends? Or perhaps it’s something more romantic you’re after – a high-end degustation for your next anniversary. Or a place where dogs are welcome, organic wines are a specialty or extra attention has been given to parents requiring a change table for bubs.
The Cellar Door Selector allows you to filter your search by region and anything else you’re after – views, food, a venue for your next celebration and more.
There are plenty of new tasting spaces to explore, too.
In the Barossa, Alkina Wine Estates just opened its doors; McLaren Vale welcomed 148 McMurtrie Road (a collaborative cellar door home to Lino Ramble, Bondar and Sherrah Wines) and Clare’s Knappstein has tripled its tasting room size with a wine lounge and underground cellar venue. Meanwhile, the Adelaide Hills will soon welcome Woodside’s Simon Tolley, Main & Cherry, and Wotton Family Wines cellar doors to their region.
McLaren Vale’s Maxwell Restaurant is celebrating its new Saturday evening opening hours by offering its guests pre-dinner canapes in a 100-year old cave.
The new dining experience includes a tour of Maxwell’s working winery, along with champagne and canapes in its candlelit Lime Cave, gouged 50 metres into a limestone hill behind the cellar.
“Although extensive, McLaren Vale’s dining offering is geared primarily toward lunches,” said general manager Jeremy Maxwell. “But we’ve heard from locals and from tourists who are staying in region that they are both looking for that special occasion dinner option to top-off their weekend.”
