Tasting Room
A visit to In Praise of Shadows is by appointment only.
Our Founder Brett hosts all tasting experiences in the newly completed tasting room on his property among the vineyards.
We share a driveway with Bekkers Wines at 212 Seaview Road, McLaren Vale and can be found immediately behind their cellar door. As our family home is also alongside, we do appreciate our privacy outside of opening hours, feel free to book online here or call Brett on 0411 518 037 if you require assistance.
Perched among the northern vineyards of McLaren Vale, our intimate tasting room is a great spot to explore the I.P.O.S family of wines and discover the philosophies and passion behind In Praise of Shadows.
Our tasting experiences are informal and relaxed, we encourage you to take a moment to slow down and enjoy our special part of McLaren Vale.
