Orbis Open Cellar

Set amongst the vines in McLaren Vale, the Orbis Vineyard Tasting Room is a chance to step behind the label and explore our wines where they’re grown and made. Our small team — the same team who work in the vineyard and winery throughout the season — will be pouring the wines and sharing the stories behind each bottle. Guests will be guided through a 60 minute curated tasting of both our classic McLaren Vale wines and our alternative, small-batch releases showcasing the experimental and site-driven side of Orbis. A special focus of the tasting will be Grenache, with guests able to explore three different expressions of the variety including our first-ever release of varietal Grenache, the 2025 Grenache Rosé, and the 2024 Tempranillo Grenache blend. We’ll also be opening the cellar for exclusive barrel tastings of our 2026 Grenache. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, beautiful vineyard views, and wines not often poured outside our inner circle. This is an intimate and highly limited experience designed for curious wine lovers wanting something a little different from the usual cellar door visit. Families are very welcome. Open 10am–4pm every day. 18th September – 5th October. $20 per person. Hosted at the Orbis Vineyard and Tasting Room. 307 Hunt Road, McLaren Vale SA 5171.
