McLaren vale tour
robdel4u, October 2026
We had another great day touring McLaren Vale wineries. Both Kay and hazelgrove wineries were great and we had great history lessons at both wineries. No tour is complete without a guide and in Tom we had a cracker, his laconic Irish accent brought everything together, he was great.
Would we recommend this tour, we certainly would.
Thanks
