Overview

Visit d'Arenberg winery in McLaren Vale for the Blending Bench, a hands-on experience where you get to play winemaker. Using three barrel samples of d'Arenberg's premium shiraz, you can create a wine of your very own and bottle a 750-mililiter sample to take home with you.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: d'Arenberg, Osborn Rd, McLaren Vale, South Australia 5171 Australia

Arrive at d'Arenberg winery for your Blending Bench experience, where a palette of wine parcels, each with distinctive flavors and textures, awaits your blending in search of balance, fullness, and finesse.

The physical work is already done for you—picking, crushing, fermenting, foot treading, basket pressing, and barrel aging. You'll create a wine that is truly unique, and then bottle, name, and label a 750-ml sample to take home and show off to your friends.

Following your blending session, sit down to an 8-course degustation at d’Arry’s Verandah Restaurant, overlooking the rolling hills of McLaren Vale. An homage, if you like, to the old adage "variety is the spice of life," this meal is an exceptional way to end your d'Arenberg experience. The resulting combination of flavors and textures created between the food and wine pairings will be the highlight of your time in South Australia.

The atmosphere is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Top wines in the McLaren Vale. Good Lunch but may be overpriced. Definitely cheaper than some of the other wineries.we enjoyed the day trip. You must visit the ground floor visual Show.

This is a seriously different approach to wineries. Interesting tasting, interesting restaurants and food. The building is quirky, exhibitions interesting with the whole place themed as eccentric. Great afternoon but keep your wallet topped up.

A bit of a circus, we made sure to be first in line in the morning and therefore got more attention. This vinery simply attracts a b bigger audience than it can comfortably entertain. The draw is the spectacular building and the rather mixed art, some of which is quite good, and some massproduced.
