One of RedBalloon’s Best Wine Experiences

Matt 15 June 2026

At RedBalloon, we run a curated program called Best Of RedBalloon which is a collection of premium experiences that consistently exceed expectations with ratings of 4.8 stars or higher as rated by our customers. To be included, a RedBalloon team member personally tests the experience to make sure it genuinely delivers. I recently visited Maxwell Wines for the wine tasting and canapés and it’s easy to see why this is one of our highest guest rated experiences in South Australia. The setting is great (with a crackling fireplace), the staff were welcoming and the whole experience feels relaxed from start to finish. The wines are high quality and well presented and the canapés were a standout. The quality of the food was exceptional and elevated. It’s well paced, delivered exactly as expected and suits anyone looking for a laid-back but still premium winery experience. One I’d happily recommend or gift.
