DRINK:
Start your sipping from an elevated aspect along The Range above McLaren Vale at boutique wine label Sew & Sew Wines. Their new cellar door space is housed inside a converted dairy, combining the original rustic features with a modern addition. The spacious north facing patio is the ideal spot to taste the range of wines on offer while admiring the vines bursting back to life in the spring sunshine. Open daily from 12pm – 5pm, Sew & Sew Wines offers a lovingly crafted range including chardonnay and fiano for the white drinkers, or a classic GSM and shiraz for the red lovers, among many others.
If you’re in the spirit for something off the beaten track, – open Saturdays and Sundays – is a greatMVD tasting experience – ‘From Barley to Bottle’ – featuring gin, a selection of single malt blended and single cask whiskies, and a fortified wine, all finished off with two indulgent Haigh’s chocolate truffles. MVD’s whisky is a collaborative effort, with the liquor aged in barrels from top local wine labels including Oliver’s Taranga, Maxwell’s and Yangarra, creating unique spirits of true provenance. With local wine and beer also available, this is a stop to please every palate.
