mclaren vale gin tour

Explore three boutique gin distilleries and enjoy a fabulous lunch as part of Adelaide’s only luxury McLaren Vale gin tour.

Start of the day at Beresford Estate’s tasting pavillion with serene views across the vineyards. Taste from their selection of 23rd Street Distillery gins, aromatic vodkas, and blended whiskeys. If you’re not game for such an early start, you can always opt for a tasting of their micro-brew beers or estate grown wines.

At Never Never Distilling Co you’ll have uninterrupted views across the region as you try their range of award winning gins or liqueurs.

No visit to McLaren Vale would be complete without a banquet lunch at one of their best regional restaurants. We can’t think of anywhere better to showcase seasonal local produce than The Salopian, and it helps that they stock a fine selection of hard to find gins!

For your final stop of the day, choose to visit another gin distillery, a brewery, or the d’Arenberg Cube for a wacky wine-meets-art extravaganza – a great way to finish any McLaren Vale tour.

Indulge yourself and enjoy Adelaide’s only luxury McLaren Vale gin tour with Small Batch!

After and amazing lunch and a head full of gin, it’s time to explore the wacky wine-meets-art wonderland at the d’Arenberg Cube.

A superb way to finish your day before heading back to the city for around 5pm.
