This seamless start allows visitors to relax and settle in as the tour unfolds through some of the state’s most iconic destinations.
McLaren Vale is renowned for its rolling vineyards set against the backdrop of the Onkaparinga River and ancient geological formations of sandstone and quartzite. The region’s Mediterranean climate nurtures award-winning wines, particularly Shiraz and Grenache. BOS Tours includes wine tastings at select cellar doors, where guides share insight into the unique terroir and sustainable practices that shape these vineyards.
