Throughout a guided tour we showcase to guests the behind-the-scenes intricacies of how a wine is crafted by the winemaker - our guests get to go where most wineries do not allow. At Shottesbrooke, guests can expect hands-on sensory experiences, barrel and finished wine tastings, and amazing opportunities to view our working winery operations up close. Our tour is followed by sparkling on arrival and an incredible three-course dining experience at The Currant Shed. The Currant Shed's culinary team brings many years of experience to their kitchen. With varied experience across many regions around the world, they have the remarkable ability to translate the flavours of the land directly onto the plate using some of the Fleurieu, and South Australia's best produce, sourced from a raft of local suppliers. Each dish is handcrafted and has its own individual story.

We hired bikes for 3 adults and 3 boys aged 15, 12 and 11 and all easily managed to ride these eBikes around to various wineries after picking them up from the McLaren Vale visitor center. They’re quality bikes and we had zero issues with them, riding up some serious hills was very manageable even for those of us who aren’t regular riders. Shayne was easy to deal with and we would recommend this business to anyone thinking of trying an eBike winery tour.

This tour is about showing you my backyard and introducing you to my friends. I have lived on the wine coast since 1976 and count the best wine makers in the Vale as my mates; I want you to meet them so they can share their passion with you. This is far from just another wine tour. If you love it half as much as I do, you're going to have an awesome day.

Inclusions: I will guide you the whole day. I will take photos and share them with you at the end of the day.

Exclusions: I will chat with you before the tour about lunch. We can go from cheap to expensive but wherever we decide, it will be good., Wine tastings fees (usually $10 but free if you buy a bottle).

Luke choose some very interesting wineries that made the day very enjoyable. He had a lot of knowledge about the area that he passed on to us. Because of Covid, we had to cancel and rebook a number of times and Luke was very accommodating with this.

This is the most entertaining cellar door I have ever visited. The Cube is an extraordinary building, full of eclectic artworks, the vision of the owner. Café is great value, tasty food with good portions and the winetasting is included as part of the admission. You can choose your wine flight, which could includes the flagship wines.

Service was exceptional and we really enjoyed the wines (stand outs even among the best we tried in McLaren Vale). We also enjoyed and the opportunity to pair those wines with food delivered from next door at 3 Monkeys cafe. Plan to visit this winery right in the middle of your day.
