ICONS OF THE VALE
In the Icons of the Vale tasting we explore why the region of McLaren Vale was built on the back of grape varieties Shiraz and Grenache, from the very first settlers, including William Oliver in 1839. Initially prized for their ability to make fortified wine, McLaren Vale has since made these varieties its own, producing increasingly exciting and diverse versions of these “Icons of the Vale”.

Should I book ahead?
Walk-in visitors are welcome at Oliver’s Taranga, however we do recommend our guests book ahead to make sure there is space for you. This is especially true for larger groups and during busy times like weekends and public holidays – we’d hate for you to miss out!

And no licensed buses are permitted. Call us on (08) 8323 8498 if you have any questions.

Our largest group size is 8 people. This guarantees we can give everyone in your group the best experience at Oliver’s Taranga.

Are you family friendly?
Of course! We have high chairs, lawn games, change facilities, colouring-in, soft drinks and juices available for kids. We do recommend including any children in your booking, so we can have things ready for you.
Are dogs welcome?
Absolutely! We love our doggos at Oliver’s Taranga. We just ask that guests keep dogs on a leash and under control when at Cellar Door, and obviously pick up after them.
Do OTT Club Members get extra perks at Cellar Door?
Yes indeed, every OTT Club Member receives a free wine tasting for themselves and a guest on each visit to our Cellar Door, as well as their Wine Club pricing on any purchases. Just another great perk of being a part of the OTT Wine Club!
Are your wines vegan friendly?
Yep. We don’t add any animal products in the making of our wines. To be honest, we try not to add anything at all. Except the grapes we grow ourselves… you kinda need the grapes 🙂
