The Yangarra philosophy centres on producing wines solely from their single vineyard estate, where bush vine grenache is their keystone variety.

Enjoy a private tasting in their VIP lounge, tasting a select range of Yangarra Estate wines plus famous single vineyard wines from Hickinbotham Estate, a vineyard which for years provided shiraz for Penfolds Grange Hermitage.
Enjoy a 4 course lunch + wine at the Salopian Inn, one of Australia's top 100 restaurants in a beautiful stone building set in the heart of the vineyards.

A five-storey avant-guarde Rubik’s Cube inspired cellar door come art installation. d’Arenberg is a founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wine and the flamboyant Cubist building erupts from the ground (and the brain of Chester Osborn) in the heart of its original McLaren Vale vineyard.
Join Toby or Emmanuelle Bekkers of Bekkers Wine to experience the product of soil and soul. Enjoy a private tasting in the luxurious tasting room overlooking the estate in the heartland of Grenache. Truly stunning, cellar-worthy wines for any officianado.
