The day’s itinerary is completely flexible, as it is your day not ours! We embark on a comfortable picturesque journey through the Hills or along the coast.

Our 2nd visit is to the Iconic d’Arenberg Cube described as a winery built within a Rubik’s Cube Once we have finished exploring the five levels of the Cube, we sit down for a delicious 2-course lunch at the award winning d’Arry’s Verandah restaurant where our guests select their own dishes from the seasonal à la carte menu. After lunch we finish the day at Hugo* wines and sample an excellent range of their small batch varietals, at one of the prettiest Cellar Doors and surroundings in the region. *We can offer an excellent alternate winery if your private group prefers a range of alternate Italian varieties to include Whites, Rose and Reds.

    Awesome day in McLaren Vale

    Superb wine tour with Steve. We considered a few others, but decided to go with Cellar Doors on the strength of obviously genuine reviews on Tripadvisor. Bingo! Cellar Doors was actually cheaper than others we looked at - they don't tend to advertise the price on the website, but ended up a decent bottle of Shiraz cheaper than others we saw online. Steve was fabulous, chatty & informative, and knew when to fade away to let us enjoy the experience. We ended up being the only couple on the tour, so enjoyed a personalised service, visiting boutique wineries, and enjoying a coastal drive on the way back. Highly recommend. The platter lunch was exceptional - check out the photo.

    Response from the operator: Hi gilesbo, Thanks for the review! Always a fun day and yes we won't cancel if you end up being the only 2 pax on board! Regards, S

    McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Adelaide.

    How much does McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube cost?

    +

    Prices start at $479 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Adelaide usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Adelaide is not rushed.

    Is McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Adelaide, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Adelaide can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Adelaide and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Adelaide within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Adelaide?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Adelaide experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour, Premium Barossa Small Group Tour: Wine tasting, Lunch & Chocolate, Barossa Valley Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Adelaide?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Adelaide?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees; Lunch; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Admission fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 31 listed pickup locations in and around Adelaide. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to McLaren Vale Private Tour inc Premium Lunch & d'Arenberg Cube if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Adelaide. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
