McLaren Vale North Hop On Hop Off Tour - In Region Pick｜Australia

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 Vale’s blend of tradition and innovation unforgettable.

Join our hop-on, hop-off winery tour departing from the McLaren Vale Visitor Information Centre at 11:00 am. Hop on or off at premium wineries along the circuit, taste some of the best wines in Australia, enjoy the scenery, and even fit in a regional lunch.

SCENERY

Set along the Fleurieu coastline, McLaren Vale North offers lush rolling vineyards and hilltop views over the valley and out to the sea. Many wineries are perfectly positioned to showcase the scenery, with picnic areas and seating for guests to enjoy.

WINE

McLaren Vale is now celebrated for both emerging varieties such as Sangiovese and Barbera, as well as classic Shiraz, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Shiraz still accounts for around 50% of the crush — and for good reason. Lovers of big, dry reds will appreciate the world-class Shiraz produced in this region.

FOOD

Our trail highlights McLaren Vale’s rich food culture, with options to suit every taste and budget. From grazing platters and fine dining to casual cafés and bakeries, there’s something for everyone. Alternatively, bring a picnic and relax at scenic spots such as Kay Brothers, taking in the serenity and views.

FREEDOM

We give you McLaren Vale North as though you were driving yourself. Join us from the city or within the region and hop on or off along the trail as you please. Staying longer at a cellar door or enjoying a leisurely lunch? No problem — simply catch a later bus. With a little planning (and one of our handy InfoPacks), you truly can tour your way.
