Carved into a limestone hill at the heart of South Australia's renowned McLaren Vale wine region, Maxwell Wines will seduce you for more than five hours with an unforgettable culinary experience perfectly paired with renowned vintages. Less than an hour outside of Adelaide CBD, this unique winery delivers a holistic wine experience and a window into the winery's soul thanks to its unique hilltop location.

Let Mark Maxwell and his team proudly guide you on this Luxury Escapes exclusive experience, beginning at the cellar door with a fizzing flute of champagne before embarking on an exciting behind-the-scenes private tour of the winery. The tour comes to an end at the famous 100-year-old Lime Cave, a magical subterranean private cellar. It’s here, within the ancient limestone walls, you’ll savour the tastes of the region with a selection of delicious canapés.
