Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Located in the heart of one of Australia's oldest and most acclaimed wine regions, Mclaren Vale is a wine lover and foodie's paradise. This half-day experience will take you to the picturesque D'Arenberg Winery, home of The Cube.
McLaren Vale, D'Arenberg Winery
Depart the pier and travel south for approximately 75-minute drive to the evergreen D'Arenberg Winery. Standing in prime position on this estate is the Cube, a five-storey attraction with unique architecture. As you enter the cube you will enjoy some free-time to self-guide around the Alternate Realities Museum, a contemporary art gallery that includes a fascinating wine aroma room.
Wine Tasting, Local Refreshments, Blend Your Own Wine Experience
Next, travel to the top floor for a wine tasting overlooking McLaren Vale, the Willunga Hills and the Gulf St Vincent. Your wine experience continues as you don your winemaker hat and blend your own personalised Shiraz. You'll work with three barrel samples of single vineyard wine as your guide takes you through the blending process.
At the conclusion of your experience, take some time to shop your favourite varieties to take home before returning to the ship.
