You will try a selection of their wines depending on your personal tastes. You will learn about their heritage, vineyards, and the winemaking process.

• Shiraz: rich garnet color with a purplish sheen. The bouquet of the wine opens with the aromas of oriental spices, plum, rosemary and grilled steak. A medium-bodied, rounded wine with silky tannins and a long, juicy aftertaste. Best served with grilled beef or lamb (quiche or lamb pulp), aged cow or sheep cheeses;
• Riesling: pale straw color. The bright bouquet is dominated by tones of white flowers and yellow fruits, lemongrass, coriander, spices. Refreshing and quite rich in taste with a bright fruit dominant, excellent acidity, and hints of lemon meringue in the aftertaste. Best paired with light salads or light snacks of Chinese cuisine, seafood ceviche, sushi, rolls, and sashimi;
• Cabernet Sauvignon: the wine has a brilliant ruby color, in the bouquet of which you can get notes of ripe black currant and chocolate. Elegant and medium-bodied, the taste notes of plum and mint are harmoniously combined with the notes of aging. Perfect with beef cheeks and grilled vegetables.

South Australia is the best spot to get out from the cold. It experiences mild winters and humid, dry summers.

Summer runs here from December to February and the temperature is 28° C on average. It can be considered as one of the pleasant times to visit wineries in South Australia. People flock to the beach in the summer, so coastal towns are popular, and many of them dine al fresco. It is important to note that not all beaches are allowed for swimming. Some places are home to saltwater crocodiles, jellyfish, or other creepy ocean creatures. Pay attention to the signs and ask the locals if you have any doubts.

When you are lucky enough to get to this wine region, be sure to visit Kangaroo Island, which is a heaven for nature lovers with its pristine beaches and wilderness, unspoiled nature, and of course kangaroos.

Experience the charm of the former seaport at Port Augusta and make some unforgettable memories in the magical city of Adelaide.

Are you a lover of authentic food types? Then grilled kangaroo can be added to your list of exotic foods. Get your chance to discover the natural coliseum in Wilpena Pound and experience the remarkable nature of Blue Lake.
