That's right! Restrictions have lifted and we can operate as normal. Things at the wineries may be a little different but they're ready and rearing to have you come visit - as are we. Small-group tours and private tours are all go, and we've even created a new budget-friendly option for those wanting to spend more on wine! Hope to see you soon . . . #wine #winetasting #barossa #mclarenvale #adelaidehills #tourism #winetour

Attention Winemakers: Keen to learn more about traditional Georgian winemaking? I have a group of traditional Georgian winemakers in discussion on Facebook who want to connect with Australia and share their knowledge. This isn't a foreigner doing a chat group, but a group of non-English speaking Georgian winemakers who want to connect. . . If you're interested, get in touch with us via Facebook (that's where it's all happening) and we'll get you involved once it's off the ground. Easy! . . 📸: @lawineista

Dearest friends, family, guests, and colleagues...

Dearest friends, family, guests, and colleagues... I had plans to be sending out a message at this time updating you all on my growth plan heading into the next season. Unfortunately I'm faced with a situation where 100% of forward bookings have been cancelled until mid-July, and the business is being forced into hibernation until then. I will continue to take bookings for departure dates from July 2020 onward. Should the situation resolve itself before then or, heaven forbid, extend itself into the Australian Spring time, I will not penalise anyone for amending their booking. Likewise, any amendments to agent bookings will not incur a fee. I plan use this downtime to focus on creating a better and more streamlined business, with the view to use current government stimulus to help propel Small Batch into the next stage of growth for when the tourism climate heats back up again. In the meantime, stay home, wash your hands, call your friends and family, support your favourite local restaurants, learn a new skill or language, get those projects done around the house you’ve never had the time for, and I’ll see you on the other side. Be good to one another... Matthew Kurko Chief Everything Officer Small Batch Wine Tours

Talking about classic icon wines of McLaren Vale I

Talking about classic icon wines of McLaren Vale I find it difficult to look past @kay_bros Block 6 Shiraz. A wine made for the cellar, this is intensity and generousity personified. Black and red fruited with enough licorice and dark chocolate to make Darrel Lee blush, I struggle to think of a wine that screams "classic McLaren Vale Shiraz" any more than this. If you haven't tried their wines - get onboard! #wine #shiraz #mclarenvale #mclarenvalewine #backvintage #block6 #kaybrothers

Very lucky to be invited to experience one of California's truly unicorn wine brands at the Jonata Ranch. A once in a lifetime experience! . Their wines are bold yet expressive and truly made for the collector. Big bass with treble and mid perfectly in balance. Some of the greatest wines I've had the pleasure of tasting. . Buy on sight! . . . @jonataestate #jonata #californiawine #syrah #cabernetfranc #pinot #unicornwine #wine #santabarbarawine #santaritahills #losolivos #ballardcanyon

There are some stunning properties in Napa, and CADE could possibly be the most visually spectacular. Set up high on the Howell Mountain hillside over-looking the Napa Valley floor, even the production facility is a work of art. Absolutely stunning! Their Reserve Cabernet is an absolute belter too 👌 . . . #napavalley #napawine #wine #napa #howellmountain #views #cellar #tastingroom #epic @cadeestate

About yesterday... Tasted my way around Russian River AVA and up into Dry Creek, California.

Did someone say gin?! It's not all wine in our regions, there's also a good selection of boutique distilleries. This tasting flight at Beresford includes such delights as a rose vodka, not your grandma's brandy, and a hybrid whisky, presented with a range of garnishes and aromats. Only in McLaren Vale! . . . @beresfordwines @23rdstreetdistillery @mclaren_vale #gin #vodka #whisky #brandy #notwine #distillery #ginflight #tastingpaddle.

Winter in McLaren Vale - not bad! Cooler weather not only makes for great Shiraz drinking weather, but fewer people on the ground means you're more likely to have a surprise private tour. Get on board!
