An amazing experience, definitely recommend. - A most wonderful experience. We felt so special and it was a most enjoyable day. We were greeted by a personalised sign which was a very nice touch. The wines, the tour around and information exceptional. Our picnic lunch was definitely a highlight and full credit to the team for creating such a beautiful natural environment. Our family included two children under 6 who were made most welcome. Many thanks šŸ˜Š

Unique wine and food experience - At 10am, we arrived at Gemtree Winery and got a deep inside of their history, their wines/wineyards and biodynamic wine making approach. Afterwards we walked on the Gemtree Eco Trail, where the owner of Gemtree planted more than 50.000 plants. Half way, at the lake a picnic was prepared for us. It was prepared with a bottle of Gemtree wine (our choice) and by The Salopian Inn and really extraordinary food! Nearly Michelin Star quality! After another hour, we were picked up againā€¦overall very recommended and very unique at McLaren Vale!
