What a stunning cellar door! We had such a delightful time visiting this beautiful spot while staying in the area. Giulia greeted us so warmly and was so attentive (even when she was very busy!) They have so many lovely spots to sit, inside and out, the sparkling wine was delish and their Plumm glasses are so divine we now have a pair to drink from at home! Highly recommend stopping in for a visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting experience at Aphelion. Their staff were super knowledgeable and their wines are just perfection. We felt welcome from the moment we stepped through the doors. The whole experience was interactive but also allowed us our own time to chat amongst ourselves. We walked away with multiple bottles and look forward to purchasing more in the future. A five star experience.

In a region with some big names and and big flashy cellar doors, it's very easy to miss the little gems like Aphelion. Don't! We visited yesterday and are so glad we did. Not only is the wine exceptional, but the whole experience at the cellar door is warm, fun and as wine-nerdy as you'd like it to be. Nestled in a bush setting, this new cellar door brings something special to McLaren Vale. Giulia is a star!

New cellar door location for the SA brand, Aphelion. Nice little “homely” fit out. I think it would be perfect for smaller groups but I noticed they are also setting up an outdoor area overlooking vines where you will be able to grab a bottle and some food (they have local selection of cheeses etc you can create your own platter) and relax. Really great wines, for me the Grenache range and also the Chenin Blanc, I this it was called “Pir” was the pick of my tastes. Located in a handy spot near other venues but also a location that you feel you are away in the bush.. great location.
