The McLaren Vale is one of my favourite wine growing areas, and I particularly enjoy their fabulous reds. The McLaren Vale Sea and Vines Festival 2017 isn't just about the wines though, it's all about a food and entertainment experience. Held over the June long weekend, Sea and Vines is the perfect opportunity to get away south of Adelaide.

Starting Saturday June 10 until Monday June 12, thousands of people will descend on the 26 participating wineries for a weekend of fun and festivities. From intimate degustation dinners with celebrity chefs and winemakers, structured masterclasses, street food trucks, live music, jumping castles and petting zoos – there's fun things to do for everyone.



You don't have to be a wine buff to enjoy the fabulous food and wine at the Sea and Vines Festival - just come ready to enjoy fulsome flavours. Oh, don't forget your wallet though.

At d'Arenberg their legendary Dead Arm Shiraz has received accolades from wine critics worldwide. Tasting a selection of cheese while exploring delicious old vintages of this complex wine will set you back $200, but you do get to take home a signed bottle of the current vintage, beautifully presented in a gift box.



Hardy's Tintinara will transport you to New Orleans for just $15 including your glass of wine, while you feast on Sneaky Pickle street food with music from the Atlantic Street Band. There are activities for kids laid on, and they will love the desserts by Little Adelaide Catering Co.

Join a wood fired oven Pizza Lockin at Beach Road Wines , immerse yourself in a unique food and wine experience at Woodstock during Sea and Vines, or take off with wine flights at The General Wine Bar & Kitchen . You're guaranteed to have an unforgettable experience (if you don't overindulge).

All special events on Saturday and Sunday at McLaren Vale Sea and Vines are ticketed and bookings are required . On Monday though, you're free as a bird to flit from one winery to the next. It's family time with tasty food options, beverages and entertainment suitable for kids of all ages.



If you're heading down over the long weekend to , please be responsible with your driving. Use a designated driver, book a taxi (well in advance), take public transport or check out your other transport options .

With more than 50 events across 25 McLaren Vale venues – the line-up of festivities spans intimate chef's table degustation's, 50's Rock 'n Roll music, and family-friendly archery classes.
McLaren Vale Grape Wine & Tourism Association General Manager, Jennifer Lynch is eager to showcase the very best of McLaren Vale's producers, and the unique offering visitors can experience in the region year-round.

"The celebrations are not limited to a single day, so the best way to experience the exceptional hospitality of our region's producers is for Festival-goers to consider accommodation options to stay in McLaren Vale over the long weekend," said Ms Lynch.

I'm really looking forward to the gourmet delights of Sea and Vines. If you missed out on the Clare Valley Gourmet Weekend because you're south of Adelaide and on the wrong side of town, then here is your big chance.
