Grenache & Gourmet

Grenache & Gourmet Grenache & Gourmet is a celebration of McLaren Vale Grenache wines and culinary expertise. Come sip, savour, and stay a little longer. Let Grenache lead the way.

Grenache & Gourmet is a flavour-filled festival of the world-class wine, seasonal food, and the stories that shape the remarkable McLaren Vale wine region in South Australia. This is McLaren Vale’s annual invitation to slow down, tune in, and savour the region’s most expressive variety—Grenache. From exclusive tastings and long-table feasts, to immersive adventures and meet-the-maker masterclasses, this is a festival designed for curious palates and thoughtful travellers—those who appreciate craftsmanship, connection to land, and the stories behind every bottle. At the heart of it all is Grenache—vibrant, fruitful, and unmistakably of this place. Whether savoured solo, revealed in a blend, or enjoyed alongside McLaren Vale’s full spectrum of premium wines, it’s a variety that brings people together—and no one does it quite like McLaren Vale.
