Highlights
Outing Highlights
Cool‑climate signatures — Riesling and Shiraz
Eden Valley is best known for premium cool‑climate varieties: Riesling and Shiraz lead the line, alongside Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot—varieties you’ll encounter across tastings at the day’s wineries.
Winemaking by the numbers — a living lineage
The region’s winemaking legacy reaches back to 1847; some vineyards are among the oldest for Shiraz and Riesling, and you’ll hear stories of fifth‑generation winemakers who maintain links to the area’s original settlers.
Four boutique cellar doors and a regional lunch
The shared, full‑day itinerary stops at four boutique wineries with tasting fees covered and includes a regional platter for lunch, offering a compact but thorough survey of Eden Valley’s producers.
