The wine making course has been designed to reflect a growing trend where people are becoming increasingly interested in a more holistic and seasonal way of living. Participants of the course are involved with every step of the process from hand picking the grapes to bottling the wine.
Tourism Australia New Zealand Regional Manager, Jenny Aitken says "South Australia already has such a great reputation for its wine tasting trails, this course really builds on that experience".
After picking the grapes then crushing, plunging, measuring and pouring wine into barrels the course participants have lunch at Producers of McLaren Vale where they can enjoy the farm's produce with a selection of local wines.
Producers of McLaren Vale is only 39km from Adelaide. McLaren Vale is famed as one of Australia's best wine producing regions and boasts over 70 cellar doors.
In addition to wine tours, there is also an abundance of restaurants and other culinary experiences to discover in the region.
March saw the new vintage commence in South Australia but Producers of McLaren Vale offer a number of other seasonal hands-on courses throughout the year where guests can learn to make their own cheese, olive oil, and preserves.
"The extreme pleasure of pulling out a cork, popping the crown seal of your own wine, or tomato sauce, is a sense of moulding destiny" says Producers of McLaren Vale co-owner David Arbon.
Producers of McLaren Vale grow for flavour while ensuring that their everyday management includes care of the environment, wildlife and future of the region.
