WHAT’S ON

McLaren Vale Visits The Marion

McLaren Vale’s superb wineries are visiting the Marion Hotel – all in one room, for one day only! Each winery will be hosting a table for the Marion’s second looooooong lunch. Start the day sampling wines from all of our McLaren Vale favourites while enjoying some tasty appetisers. Then your lucky table will get to sample one of our suppliers most loved wines whilst enjoying a delicious main course and cheese plate. We are keeping our cards close to our chest with this one, you won’t know what winery you will be dining with until you are sitting at your table in our stunning glasshouse –ooohooo who doesn’t love a good mystery! With this list of wineries from one of the best wine regions in the world, you are sure not to be disappointed with where we place you.

All wineries will be offering exclusive discounts on the day no matter what table you are seated at. The perfect excuse if your wine rack at home is looking a little empty!

David Penberthy from 5AA will be hosting, so grab some mates who love a sneaky daytime drink and join us for an afternoon of delicious food & wine without the extended journey down South.

Every ingredient has a purpose – to make the moment more memorable. The way it should be.
