Five ultimate South Australian food experiences

Drink and dine at the d’Arenberg Cube, McLaren Vale

Likened to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, but for wine, McLaren Vale’s d’Arenberg Cube has caused a stir among both wine and architecture enthusiasts. Part puzzle, part gallery, the 5 storey cube houses a mind-bending alternate reality museum, complete with sensory experiences and a 360 degree video. Snake your way around, then catch a lift up to the multi-award-winning fine dining restaurant and panoramic rooftop tasting room.

Taste your birth year at Seppeltsfield, Barossa

Established just 15 years after the European settlement of South Australia, Seppeltsfield is one of Australia’s best-known and most awarded wineries. After exploring the property’s 420-acre vineyard and regal, heritage-listed architecture, take a step back in time and with the Taste Your Birth Year tour. This tour offers the rare opportunity for visitors to try their own birth year vintage Tawny directly from the barrel.

Dig into a Feral Feast at the Prairie Hotel, Parachilna

Kangaroo pastrami, emu pâté and corned camel silverside are just a few of the left-of-centre morsels you’ll be served at Parachilna’s Prairie Hotel. An outback pub with a difference, The Prairie is known far and wide for its mildly alarming yet undeniably delicious Feral Feast, listed as one of Gourmet Travellers’ top 100 gourmet experiences in Australia. This is true-blue Aussie bush tucker with a twist.

Play chef for a day at a Jacob’s Creek Cooking Class, Barossa

Cook up a storm at Jacob’s Creek Estate, plucking produce straight from the property’s sprawling kitchen garden. After filling your ingredient hamper, you’ll be taught the tricks of the trade by a professional chef and learn how to cook a winery worthy feast. Once finished, enjoy the fruits of your labour with a well-earned glass (or 2) of award-winning Jacob’s Creek wine.
