Explore Australia’s Vintages

Nestled in the picturesque Clare Valley, 90 minutes from Adelaide, is the internationally celebrated, family-owned Taylors Wines - one of the Ultimate Winery Experiences of Australia. A Trail of Taste and Time offers guests a behind-the-scenes winery tour that starts with a hosted cheese and wine pairing at St Andrews winery that introduces a taste of the flavours of the estate, while your host explains the biosecurity and sustainability techniques that ensure the estate’s longevity. Then, on a 90-minute scenic guided walk alongside the Wakefield River, witness the vines and explore the connection between place and wine through stories of the generations of winemakers. Return to the award-winning cellar door where the experience culminates with a seasonal lunch paired with a tasting of premium wines. This experience is available for up to 100 guests, rotating in groups through the experiences while enjoying lunch in two sittings.

Visit the site of the oldest Shiraz vines in the world and uncover the stories and history of Mount Pleasant Wines, renowned for its semillon and shiraz. Nestled beneath the Brokenback Ranges in Pokolbin, just a two-hour drive north of Sydney, guests can immerse themselves in the rich winemaking heritage of pinot noir on the Mothervine Experience. Begin with a one-hour guided walk through the historic Mothervine Pinot Noir vineyard and discover how 60 per cent of Australia’s greatest pinot noir vineyards trace their lineage back to a single vine still thriving here. Take a behind the scenes look at their working winery, uncovering the techniques used to produce award-winning pinot noir, followed by a guided tasting in the Cellar Door. The experience concludes with a relaxed lunch of generous charcuterie and cheese boards, perfectly matched to the wines. A member of the Ultimate Winery Experiences of Australia, this experience is perfect for groups of 20 guests, exploring Australia’s winemaking history in our oldest wine region.
