Why We Love This Unique Experience
Penola Experience Gifts: Toast Coonawarra’s finest wines with an all day tour of the region’s best cellar doors and a sumptuous lunch full of local fare.
Your day of exploration through scenic Coonawarra (meaning ‘wild honeysuckle’ in the Aboriginal language) begins when you’re collected from your accommodation in a luxury minivan. Each trip is personalised according to the group’s tastes so which estates you visit is entirely up to you. You might fancy sampling a Shiraz or Merlot from the Parker estate, who planted their first vines in 1985. Or perhaps you fancy visiting the Blok estate, a small family-owned winery who produce not only reds and whites, but also a special sparkling Pinot Chardonnay. Whichever wineries you choose, Coonawarra’s famous Terra Rossa (red soil) strip means that you’re guaranteed deep rich wines which are full of flavour. Partway through your trip you’ll also stop for a hearty lunch featuring the best local produce, before heading out to learn more about this magnificent winemaking region.
Whatever your wine knowledge, an all day trip around beautiful Coonawarra is a brilliant way to find out more and discover your favourites. It also makes a thoughtful experience gift for couples.
