Choosing a Tasting Experience

Group tasting experiences in the Southern Vales & Coast centre on McLaren Vale, where a winery cellar door and a gin distillery door run bookable sessions. Picking between them is mostly a question of spirit or wine, and how hands-on the group wants to be.

The region's two tasting stops side by side:

  • The d'Arenberg Cube on Osborn Road: wine tastings from $20 per person, with museum entry.
  • Never Never Distilling Co. McLaren Vale on Field Street: guided gin tastings and a premium masterclass.
  • Hands-on: blend, bottle and label your own wine at the Cube, or work through garnish-matched gins at Never Never.
  • Age: Never Never is 18 and over only, so check with the Cube about any younger guests.
  • Food: pinsa or oysters at Never Never, and canapés to degustation in Cube function packages.
