WTC Event - September 2026

Join us at Aphelion for an evening to celebrate the variety that has become synonymous with us - and one of McLaren Vale's greatest strengths.
 
Hosted by the Wine Tourism Committee and Louise & Rob Mack of Aphelion, explore the story behind one of the region's most exciting boutique producers. Learn how a single tonne of Grenache hand-waxed on a kitchen floor grew into an award-winning producer dedicated to exploring the remarkable diversity of Grenache.
 
Taste some of Aphelion's eleven Grenache expressions alongside one of the acclaimed Chenin Blancs, as the stories behind the vineyards, the winemaking and the philosophy of becoming the “Home of Grenache “ are shared.
 
Tour the outdoor spaces that capture visitors imagination. Capture the magic of golden hour while you're here! Share your favourite photo of the Aphelion Cellar Door on social media during the evening to go in the draw to win a bottle of Aphelion Reserve Grenache.

 

$20pp for financial members of MVWR.

 

Please note: Aphelion is a small cellar door, so where possible, we strongly encourage carpooling. Overflow parking is available at Kay Brothers. Keep an eye out for the WTC crew in hi-vis vests, who will be there to direct you.
