Cellar Doors & Riverland Produce Day

A full day tasting the wine, citrus and almonds that the Murray's irrigation made possible.

The plan

The Riverland quietly produces a vast share of Australia's wine, citrus and almonds, and a day spent among its cellar doors and producers is both delicious and eye-opening. Prices here are famously honest, the welcomes warm, and the family stories run deep.

Start among the vines at a riverfront cellar door, work through a couple of family wineries, and break the tasting with the region's signature produce — citrus, almonds and the juices that carry the Riverland name across the country. Cap it off at a distillery doing clever things with local fruit.

Line up a driver, bring an esky, and leave room in the boot.
