McLaren Vale Cheese and Wine Trail

In March 2016, John and I spent three days in McLaren Vale, a wine region in South Australia famous for producing world class red wine.

One of the highlights of our trip was McLaren Vale Cheese and Wine Trail offered by Blessed Cheese.

The Cheese and Wine Trail is a four course progressive picnic that takes place at four of McLaren Vale’s wineries.

Blessed Cheese fills a picnic basket with local cheese and gourmet produce matched to the specific wines you’ll be tasting at each winery.

They also send you off with a brief explanation of each pairing.
