McLaren Vale SA

This afternoon Dan, Helen, Anthony and I ventured into the beautiful McLaren Vale Region, while the kids stayed back and enjoyed the pool, putt-putt and other on-site activities at the caravan park.

After finding our way to the highly recommended Samuel’s Gorge Winery we settled in around an old wine barrel under the shade of a big outdoor umbrella to enjoy the tastings. The Piñata chilled white was a good way to start but the heroes were of course the reds and we came away again with a standout Grenache and Shiraz. We love discovering little known gems.

Next door we also checked out Chapel Hill Wines. It was fancy but felt more commercial and didn’t appeal to us as much.

Back at the vans we enjoyed a lazy dinner of cheese, crackers, kranskies and an amazing cherry pie (thanks Helen) followed by a ridiculous game of ‘Dumb Questions’ where we all learnt way too much about each other 😆Weiterlesen
