Off the coast of South Australia is the wind- swept island of Kangaroo Island which is the home of a number of wineries, distilleries and craft breweries.
Pay a visit to The Islander Estate Vineyard in Jumbuck or the rustic False Cape on the banks of the Wilson River and taste some local shiraz or cabernet sauvignon.
If you prefer to have a magnificent view of the water of St Vincent Gulf, whilst you immerse yourself in your wine tasting, then a visit to Dudley Wines in Cuttlefish Bay or Bay of Shoals Wines in Kingscote, are a must.
We visited the Islander Estate Vineyards, in Cygnet River, that have 11 Hectares of vines with grape varieties of Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Shiraz, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier. Halliday’s Wine Guide sites that the owner and founder, French Winemaker Jacques Lurton, is a “creative wine making” and we get to experience this during their ‘Flagship Tasting Experience’. (2023)
