A Deep Dive Tasting designed to showcase why this varietal thrives in the Adelaide Hills. For $20 per person, this guided experience explores the nuance, diversity, and craftsmanship behind one of the region’s most beloved wines.

Throughout the tasting, you’ll learn about Chardonnay clones and how they influence flavour, texture, and structure. Our team will guide you through a curated selection of wines, each highlighting different expressions shaped by clone, site, and winemaking approach. It’s a rare opportunity to understand how subtle differences in vine genetics and vineyard conditions can create remarkably distinct styles.

The Adelaide Hills is renowned for producing elegant, balanced Chardonnay thanks to its cool climate. Crisp acidity, refined structure, and layered complexity are hallmarks of the region, and this tasting brings those qualities to life in the glass. Whether you enjoy fresh, mineral-driven styles or richer, more textured expressions, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for what makes these wines so special.
