Wirra Wirra Vineyards is situated 3.7km from the township of McLaren Vale in the state of South Australia. Originally settled in 1838, McLaren Vale has become one of Australia's most highly regarded and accessible wine regions, just 45 minutes by car from Adelaide, the state capital.
Its Mediterranean climate and proximity to the Gulf St. Vincent provides the region with a unique ability to produce consistent, richly complex and long lived wines from classic grape varieties, in particular that powerhouse of the Australian wine industry, shiraz.
Today McLaren Vale enjoys a reputation as a culinary mecca, home to some of Australia's finest food and wine producers. Wirra Wirra cellar door is a warm and friendly place. Guests are welcomed by knowledgeable and enthusiastic members of the Wirra Wirra tribe committed to enriching both the Wirra Wirra and McLaren Vale experience.
Visitors are invited to taste through the current vintage wines as well as a selection of small volume releases exclusive to Cellar Door. With a glass in hand, a cheese platter can be enjoyed while taking a moment to absorb the beauty of the Scrubby Rise and Woodhenge vineyards. Those whom may take a fancy to ringing the 3/4 tonne Angelus Bell are invited to do so in celebration of all that McLaren Vale has to offer.
