THE TASTE

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.

THE HERITAGE

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.

THE ROUTE

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.
