Partner N Wine has set out to fill a gap in the market for sunset group wine tours by introducing our Twilight Tours in McLaren Vale.
We are bucking trends and challenging traditions.
Traditionally, wine tours started early, around 10 or 11 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m. After all, country music legend Alan Jackson sang, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.”
And although some like the casual vibe of day drinking, not everyone feels like a Shiraz at 10 a.m.
This is why we’re introducing our Twilight Tours on Friday nights. Our Twilight Tours cater to those who prefer night time over daytime drinking and a more intimate wining and dining experience. Whether you're celebrating something special or simply want to get out of the house, our Twilight Tours allow you to relax, unwind, and soak in the beauty of McLaren Vale as the sun sets over the ocean. Oh, and the wine is great too!
Wine Down in McLaren Vale With A Twilight Tour
Beginning the tour at 3 p.m. and ending after your dinner at 9 p.m., our Twilight Tours allow you to experience the true beauty of McLaren Vale as the sun sets over the coastline. At Partner N Wine, we believe that this is truly the best way to experience McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Coast at their finest. I mean, imagine savouring your favourite glass of wine, accompanied by a dinner under the stars with your favourite people, in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Honestly, could you think of anything better than that? We can't!
Twilight Tours Example Itinerary
This is an example of a Twilight Tour itinerary perfect for a clear, warm summer night along the Fleurieu Coast.
1st stop - Pannell Enoteca at 3pm
We love Pannell Enoteca on a summer’s day. They have a huge deck, which is a funny phrase when said in a New Zealand accent. Jokes aside, the fact that they have three brands operating at the same cellar door means that there is something for everyone. There’s some great white wines from Protero, including their Pinot Gris and their Aromatico.
SC Pannell’s range are some of our favourite red wines. Their Tempranillo, Touriga, and Montepulciano are sure to impress. Finally, Koomilya's Rosé from a single Mataro block is also a standout wine.
2nd stop - Berg Herring at 4:30pm
We then venture south to Sellicks Beach to visit Berg Herring’s beautiful cellar-door church to repent for our sins. Holy Communion would have had more visitors if the wine tasted as good as the wine at Berg Herring. Sip some lovely Italian white wines like Fiano and Vermentino. For full-bodied red wine lovers, Berg Herring does a wonderful blend of Saperavi and Barbera.
Dinner - Star of Greece at 6:30pm
One of the jewels of the south, Star of Greece is our go-to seaside dining restaurant to take full advantage of a South Australian sunset.
It doesn’t get any better than enjoying Star of Greece’s consistently outstanding food while watching the sun radiate off the terracotta cliffs.
We leave by 9pm to drop you home as the sun sets on your twilight tour.
