Trail Hopper McLaren Vale
Help code: 3410-2F27
Just 40 minutes south of Adelaide, McLaren Vale North boasts a spectacular mix of the old and the new set in a lush coastal location. Whether it is the wine styles, the vineyards or the cellar doors, you will find McLaren Vales blend of tradition and innovation to be unforgettable.
Set along the Fleurieu coastline, McLaren Vale North offers lush rolling vines and hill top views over the valley and to the sea. Many wineries are optimally sited to offer spectacular vistas, with picnic areas and benches for all to enjoy.
These days McLaren Vale is as much known for its newer wine styles such as Sangiovese and Barbera as it is for the more traditional Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. Shiraz still accounts for 50% of the crush and for good reason â any fan of big dry reds will love the world class Shiraz coming out of this region.
Our trail makes the most of McLaren Vales rich and varied food offerings, and there are options to suit every taste and budget. Whether it is a grazing platter of local produce, fine dining, or one of the numerous cafes and bakeries in the township, we have got you covered. Alternatively bring a picnic and perch on the hilltop at Kay Brothers enjoying serenity and stunning views.
We are proud to give you McLaren Vale North as though you were driving yourself. Join us in the city or within the region and hop on or off along our trail as you please. Having too good a time at a particular cellar door, or enjoying lunch a little too much? Stay on and catch a later bus! With a bit of planning (and one of our handy Info packs!) you truly can Tour Your Way. To enjoy a wine tour with freedom and no fuss book your Hop On Hop Off Wine Tour with transfers from Adelaide today.
Plan ahead
Pre-Bookings are essential at most venues so agree with your group the wineries you wish to visit throughout the day. Start with where you’re having lunch, how long you’ll want to spend there, and work outwards from there.
Please note: The price for this product may change upon date selection due to seasonal or weekend rates
“ My boyfriend John and I travelled through McLaren Vale on Saturday the 31st of March with the Trailhopper hop on hop off bus tour. Our driver was Theresa, she was super lovely and very organised! We loved the fact that she offered to call ahead and book places for us at certain wineries so we didn’t miss out as it’s super busy on weekends. She made the day so much more enjoyable for us and it made our trip so much easier as we didn’t have to worry about getting around after drinking all day! We also got picked up and dropped off in the CBD which was super convenient for us. McLaren Vale itself was so beautiful and each winery we visited was amazing but were all individual and had different features that made it stand out. We visited D’arenberg Winery, Beach Road Winery and Hugh Hamilton Winery and all were incredible. Definitely, recommend the woodfire pizzas at Beach Road as they were amazing!! The wines at D’areneberg were a stand out too! Rate this trip 10/10. Was a fab day!
