In the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region, Inkwell Wines stands as Australia’s only regenerative organic certified vineyard, crafting boundary-pushing wines that embody their ethos: McLaren Vale. Real. Different. The architecturally striking cellar door, transformed from recycled shipping containers, rises among the vines to offer one of the Fleurieu Peninsula’s most distinctive tasting experiences, where guests choose from an array of welcoming spaces – from their contemporary indoor tasting room to three outdoor decks, including a spectacular rooftop viewing platform that captures panoramic vineyard vistas.
Customise your wine journey with their flexible tasting experiences, from casual drop-in tastings at their main tasting bar to private guided sessions in reserved spaces. Enjoy their wines in relaxed outdoor settings among the vines or in dedicated areas with sweeping valley views.
The thoughtfully curated selection showcases delicious, terroir-driven wines that are never chemically modified or corrected – each bottle a true fingerprint of place. From masterfully crafted Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon to pioneering varieties rarely seen in Australia, discover the Primitivo/Zinfandel, aromatic Viognier, Grillo, and Portuguese Arinto. Wine styles range from classic still reds to adventurous extended-skin contact whites and fortified wines.
Powered by solar energy and rainwater, Inkwell’s sustainable cellar door reflects its deep commitment to environmental stewardship.
Discover both Inkwell DubStyle ranges. For wine lovers seeking discovery beyond the ordinary: Real. Delicious. Essential.
