Step into the winemakers laboratory and become 'winemaker' for a day. This interactive experience is fascinating and fun, as you combine distinctive flavours and textures to create your very own unique blend that you can take home with you!
The Blending Bench is a hands on, interactive experience where you play winemaker, focusing on this winery's flagship Shiraz 'The Dead Arm'. A palette of Shiraz wine parcels, each with distinctive flavours and textures, are melded in search of balance, fullness and finesse. The physical work – picking, crushing, fermenting, foot treading, basket pressing and barrel ageing - is all done for you, and you get to create a wine that is truly unique. You then bottle, name and label a 750ml sample to take home and show off to your friends! Afterwards explore the grounds of the renowned d'Arenberg Winery, taking in the rolling hills of McLaren Vale.
Please allow approximately 1.5 hours for this experience.
There is a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 14 participants per class. This experience is valid for 2 participants.
This experience is located in d'Arenberg, McLaren Vale, SA.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
