Highlights
One of the most significant wineries in McLaren Vale, d’Arenberg was established in 1912 when Joseph Osborn, a teetotaler and director of Thomas Hardy and Sons, sold his stable of prize winning horses to purchase the property that now houses the winery, cellar door and d’Arry’s Verandah Restaurant. Today, fourth generation family member Chester makes distinctive wines using traditional methods both in the vineyard and the winery. With over 60 wines and 25 different grape varieties, you’re sure to find something you’ll love.

About McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is a wine district on the Fleurieu Peninsula, south of Adelaide, where vineyards run down towards the sea through low coastal hills.
McLaren Vale lies on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, a short drive south of Adelaide, in a shallow valley between the Mount Lofty Ranges and Gulf St Vincent. The district is known for its wine, above all Shiraz and Grenache grown on old vines in warm, dry soils. Cellar doors sit among vineyards and olive groves, and the small town has a main street of cafés, galleries and shops.
