Gourmet in the vines

Join d’Arenberg’s very own Chester Osborn in two bespoke dining experiences or enjoy a neighbourhood experience as four of the region’s boutique wineries – Bondar, Lino Ramble, Samson Tall and Sherrah Wines – join forces at Red Poles Restaurant for a series of matched wine luncheons.

Grenache & Gourmet also gives guests the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience tastings of rare and exclusive wines.

Tastings include reserve and museum grenache and blends, guided by the winemakers and vignerons at Hardy’s, Haselgrove, Penny’s Hill, Pannell Enoteca, Serafino, Silversands Beach Club, Shottesbrooke, Woodstock and Yangarra.

To get out among the vines, join Paxton Wines in a grenache journey from Vineyard to Barrel, Blending to Bottle, a guided tour and tasting through their organic and biodynamic vinyards and winery, or join a guided donkey tour through the vineyards with Journey Home Wines.

And at the end of the week, relax at Friday night Grenache happy hours at Hither & Yon and Penny’s Hill.

Tickets for Grenache & Gourmet events are on sale now and available for purchase online or directly from participating venues.

McLaren Vale has a long and rich history of grenache and is home to some of the oldest vines in the country.

This, combined with the region’s unique geology, idyllic Mediterranean climate and hotbed of awarded producers crafting exciting modern wines means McLaren Vale is fast becoming known as one of the world’s leading grenache regions and the epicentre of new and emerging varieties and wine styles.
