Woodstock Wine Experiences

Family-owned & operated for three generations, Woodstock produces a range of wines from some of McLaren Vale's oldest vineyards.

The cellar door is open 7 days a week from 11am to 4pm and guests are encouraged to book in for a seated wine tasting to be guided through a delicious range of whites, reds and fortifieds and learn about the history of the family and property.

Open weekends 11.30am - 4pm The Lawns at Woodstock is the perfect place for friends and family to gather and enjoy a casual afternoon in the breathtaking surrounds of Woodstock's native gardens and picturesque vineyards.

Each day at 11:30 The Woodstock Wildlife Sanctuary is open to the public for feeding of the animals. Come and visit kangaroos Rooby, Dusty and Maverick the Emu for a truly Australian experience.

The Sticky Fingers experience at Woodstock is all about helping people rediscover the enjoyment of fortified wine – to learn about the extensive winemaking and maturation process and of course the sensory experience in collaboration with historical South Australian chocolatiers Haighs.Tours

The Lawns at Woodstock

The Lawns at Woodstock is the perfect place for friends and family to gather and enjoy a casual afternoon in the breathtaking surrounds of Woodstock's native gardens and picturesque vineyards.

The Lawns at Woodstock is located adjacent the Coterie Tasting Room and is open on weekends and public holidays 11.30am - 4pm during the months of November to April.

Set on our picturesque lawns, guests can lounge on our outdoor settings or bring a picnic rug and enjoy the serenity amongst native gardens and vineyards.

With a playground for the children, and live music on Sundays, the Lawns are the perfect place to spend a weekend enjoying good food, wine and company in McLaren Vale.

Wildlife Sanctuary

The Woodstock Wildlife Sanctuary is home to Eden, Maple, Rawnsely, Prairie, Abraham and Dusty, all rescued Western Grey Kangaroos. Together with a friendly emu called Maverick, they will be the ones meeting and greeting you at our feeding sessions.

In 2021 we welcomed two rescue orphan Western Grey Kangaroos, Rooby and Clare.

The wildlife numbers in the sanctuary continue to grow through breeding, and as more rescued, hand-reared animals are offered to our care.

We encourage you to look up into the majestic gum trees on the Estate, both the ones inside and outside the Sanctuary, as we often have visiting koalas stopping by to nibble on their favourite Eucalypts. Considering koalas can spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping, seeing one quietly perched and fast asleep in the fork of one of our gum trees is not unusual.

We are pleased to be able to offer visitors to Woodstock a unique and truly Australian encounter with the animals in the Sanctuary. We hold a supervised feeding session each day at 11:30am.

Dusty, Maverick, and the more tame residents, being the Grey Kangaroos and some Wallabies, look forward to this session each day as much as we do!

Sticky Fingers

In collaboration with Haigh’s Chocolates, Woodstock has custom-matched four Woodstock Fortified's with a flight of divine Haigh’s chocolates to create a truly fingerlicking taste of South Australia.

Before table wine, Australian winemakers were dedicated to the production of world-class fortifieds. We want to bring back the celebration of this craft and share some of our cellar treasures.

Sticky Fingers at Woodstock is all about helping people rediscover the enjoyment of fortified wine – to learn about the extensive winemaking and maturation process and of course the sensory experience.

The winemaker selected Haigh’s Chocolates augment the tasting experience, highlighting complex sensory components in the fortified wines.

$50 per person includes four fortified wines and their matching chocolate accompaniments in a guided tasting experience, plus a bottle of your favourite Woodstock fortified to take home!
