Australia · Adelaide & Kangaroo Island
Barossa & McLaren Vale
Two of Australia's most famous wine regions — Shiraz country with cellar doors, long lunches and fifth-generation winemakers.
About Barossa & McLaren Vale
The Barossa Valley is the heart of Australian Shiraz — its old-vine vineyards, some over 150 years old, produce some of the most powerful and acclaimed reds in the world. Penfolds Grange, Australia's most famous wine, is a Barossa creation.
McLaren Vale, on Adelaide's southern doorstep, is the Barossa's coastal cousin — equally famous for Shiraz and Grenache, with a more relaxed seaside personality and outstanding restaurants among the vines.
